The solution is as follows
June 25 1982 : Friday
June 25 1983 : Saturday
June 25 1984 (Leap Year) : Monday
June 25 1985 : Tuesday
June 26 1986 : Wedensday
June 26 1987 : Thursday. (This should be the answer).

Kindly throw some light.

Your approach and answer both are correct. There must be some mistake in the OA.

What is source ?

btw you are right it should be Thursday!!

June 25 1982, fell on a Friday. On which day of the week did June 25, 1987 fall. (Note : 1984 was a leap year).

a) Sunday
b) Monday
c) Tuesday
d) Wednesday
e) Thursday

Between 1982 and 1987 are 4 non-leap years and 1 leap year.
Each non-leap year is composed of 365 days; a leap year is composed of 366 days.
Thus, from June 25, 1982 to June 25, 1987, the total number of days = 4(365) + 366.

Since June 25, 1982 is a Friday, every passing of 7 days will yield another Friday.
364 is a multiple of 7.
Rephrase the total number of days in terms of 364:
4(365) + 366

= 4(364+1) + (364+2)

= (4*364 + 4) + (364+2)

= 5(364) + 6

= (multiple of 7) + 6

= Friday + 6 days

= Thursday.

The correct answer is E.
If the OA is C, then the OA is incorrect.
