15 Aug, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1.1.1947 to 15.8.1947) Odd days in 1600 years = 0 Odd days in 300 years = 1 46 years = (35 ordinary years + 11 leap years) = (35 x 1 + 11 x 2)= 57 (8 weeks + 1 day) = 1 odd day Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May. Jun. Jul. Aug ( 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 ) = 227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days. Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 1 + 3) = 5 odd days. Hence, as the number of odd days = 5 , given day is Friday.
