According to the question,
1st May 2019 was Wednesday and 2019 is non leap year. so, odd day was 1.
To find the day on 12th May 2016, we have to move backward year wise.
1st May 2018 (Non leap year, odd day = 1) ⇒ Wednesday - 1 ⇒ Tuesday.
1st May 2017 (Non leap year, odd day = 1) ⇒ Tuesday - 1 ⇒ Monday
Now, we need to count the days from 2017 till 12th May 2016. However, we exclude February 2016 in this count since we are moving from 1st May 2017 to 12th May 2016.
Thus, the odd days remain 1, not 2.
firstly, we will count 1st May 2016, then add 11 days to it.
1st May 2016 (Leap year, but odd days is 1) ⇒ Monday - 1 ⇒ Sunday
Now, 12th May 2016 ⇒ 1st May 2016 + 11 days
⇒ Sunday + (11÷ 7) ⇒ Sunday + 4 odd days
⇒ Thursday
Hence, The day on 12th May 2016 was "Thursday".
