    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)

    Odd days in 1600 years = 0

    Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3)  1

    97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.

    Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.

     

    Jan.  Feb.   March    April    May      June 
    (31 +  28  +  31   +   30   +   31   +   17) = 168 days
    

     

     168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.

    Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.

    Given day is Wednesday.
