On 17th March, 1997 Monday falls. What day of the week was it on 17th March, 1996?
Answer: C
Only the remainder on division by 7 matters - the odd days.
Step back one year from 17 March 1997 to 17 March 1996. Although 1996 is a leap year, 29 February 1996 falls before 17 March 1996, so it lies outside the interval.
\[ 365 \text{ days} \rightarrow 1 \text{ odd day} \]
\[ \text{Monday} - 1 = \textbf{Sunday} \]
Whether the leap day counts depends on where it falls relative to the two dates, not merely on whether the year is a leap year.
