1984 was a leap year.)
A. Sunday
B. Monday
C. Tuesday
D. Wednesday
E. Thursday
OA is C. But it is wrong. I checked the calendar fro confirmation.
My answer is Thursday (E) which is right. Loads of mistakes in GMAT Sets

The general procedure to calculate it is,
if jan 1 2002 comes on wed, jan 1 2003 will come on thursday
if some leal yaer comes in-between then add two days.
so going by that June 25 1982 fell on Friday so June 25th 1987 should be,
June 25th 1982 - Friday
June25th 1983 - Saturday
June 25th 1984 - Monday(1984 leap year)
June 25h 1985 - Tuesday
June 25th 1986 - Wednesday
June 25th 1987 -Thursday
So the answer is Thursday
Hope i am correct.
If any difference of opion plz let me know
