i think its wednesday

As leap year means 52 weeks + 2days.
and normal year means 52 weeks + 1 day.
where that one day is the day on which the year started. means if a year starts with sunday then we'll hv 53 sundays and rest all 52 tues,wed, etc.

thus in the given ques, our year can begin with mon, wed, fri,and sun.
if we take wed and fri, then following day will be thurs or sat which is not possible, same if we take mon.
thus our year begins with sunday, and on 31'st jan it wil be tue and first feb will be wednesday hence 29 feb will also be wed.

there are 366 day in leap year
366/7=2 odd day and 52 complete week
there are only sunday and monday which can be 2 odd day
