100, 200, 1900 etc. are not leap years

3. Ordinary Year
The year which is not a leap year is an ordinary year.

An ordinary year has 365 days

4. Counting odd days and calculating day of any particular date
1 ordinary year ≡ 365 days ≡ (52 weeks + 1 day)
Hence a number of odd days in 1 ordinary year= 1.

1 leap year ≡ 366 days ≡ (52 weeks + 2 days)
Hence a number of odd days in 1 leap year= 2.
