Correct Answer: Saturday


Solution : Given:
11th August 2004 is Wednesday.

Let's calculate the total number of days –
2004→Aug = 31 – 11 = 20; Sep = 30; Oct = 31; Nov = 30; Dec = 31
20 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 142
2005→Jan = 31; Feb = 28; March = 31; April = 30; May = 31; June = 30; July = 31; Aug = 31; Sep = 30; Oct = 31; Nov = 30; Dec = 31
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 365
2006→Jan = 31; Feb = 11
31 + 11 = 42
Therefore, total = 142 + 365 + 42 = 549 days

On dividing 549 by 7, the remainder is 3. So, three days after Wednesday is Saturday.

Therefore, 11th February 2006 will be Saturday. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
