Correct Answer: Sunday


Solution : Given:
The 16th of June 2001 is Saturday.

Calculate the days between 17th of June 2001, and 21st of June 2009.
From 17th of June 2001 to 16th of June 2009 ⇒ (8 × 365) + 2 = 2922
(2 days are added as there are two leap years 2004 and 2008.)
From 17th of June 2009 to 21st of June 2009 ⇒ 5 days
Total number of days = 2922 + 5 = 2927
On dividing 2927 by 7 we get 1 as the remainder. So, 1 day after Saturday will be Sunday.

So, the 21st of June 2009 will be Sunday. Hence, the third option is correct.
