16th April, 2000= (1999 years (plus) Period from 1st Jan.,2000 to 16th April, 2000)
Counting of Odd days :
1600 years have 0 odd day. 300 years have 1 odd day.
99 years = (24 leap years (plus)75 ordinary years)
= [(24*2) (plus)(75 * 1)] odd days
=123 odd days
(17 weeks (plus)4 days)
= 4 odd days
Jan (plus) Feb. (plus) March (plus) April
31 (plus) 29 (plus) 31 (plus) 16
= 107 days
= (15 weeks (plus)2days)
=2 odd days
