Correct Option: A

We can say that ,
August 1, 1988 means = 1987 years + 7 months
Number of odd days in 1987 years = 1600 years have 0 odd days + 300 years have 1 odd day + 87 years have 21 leap years and 66 ordinary years.
So, there are [ ( 21 × 2 ) + ( 66 × 1 ) ] = 108 days, = 15 weeks and 3 odd days.
Number of days between January 1, 1988 to August 1, 1989 = January + February + March + April + May + June + July + August = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 1 = 241 days = 30 weeks and 4 odd days.
Total number of odd days = 0 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 8 odd days = ( 1 x 7 + 1 ) = 1 odd day.
Thus, Friday falls on 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th in August 1988.
