Sol. Number of days from 6th may to 31st May = 25 ( 6 May is not counted )

     1st June to 30th June = 30 days

     1st July to 31st July = 31 days

      1st Aug to 11th Aug = 11 days

      Total = 97 days, which has 6 odd days.

       Hence, 11th Aug is Thursday.

(1) Sunday              (2) Saturday           (3) Friday               (4) Wednesday

2. Answer : (3)

Sol.  31st December, 2005 was a Saturday.

       Number of odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 = ( 1 + 2 + 1 + 1)= 5 days
