Odd days in 1600 years = 0 
Odd days in 400 years = 0 
5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) 6 odd days 
Jan.  Feb.   March    April    May  
(31 +  28  +  31   +   30   +   28 ) = 148 days 
 148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) 1 odd day. 
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 0 odd day. Given day is Sunday.

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.

Odd days in 400 years = 0 
9 years = (2 leap years + 7 ordinary years) = (2 x 2 + 7 x 1) = 11 odd days 4 odd days. 
Jan.  Feb.   March    April    May  June  July  Aug.  
(31 +  28  +  31   +   30   +  31  + 30  + 31  + 15) = 227 days
