Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : Thursday

Given date: 8th December 2016

Let us break the year 2016 = 2000 years + 15 years (3 leap year + 12 ordinary year) + 1 year upto 8th December

Odd days in these years = 0 + (2 × 3 + 1 × 12) + 0 = 0 + 18 + 0 = 18 odd days or 4 odd days

Day on the odd days:

0 - Sunday

1 - Monday

2 - Tuesday

3 - Wednesday

4 - Thursday

5 - Friday

6 - Saturday

Hence, Thursday is correct.

NOTE:

Calculation of odd days in a given year.

To find total odd days in 2016 (leap year) = Remainder (No. of days in a month ÷ 7)

Jan = 3, Feb = 1 (leap year), Mar = 3, Apr = 2, May = 3, Jun = 2, July = 3, Aug = 3, Sep = 2, Oct = 3, Nov = 2, Dec = 1

Total odd days = 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 28 odd days or 0 odd days.
