If the seventh day of a month is three days earlier than a Friday, what day will be the nineteenth day of the same month? |
Thursday Tuesday Wednesday Sunday |
Sunday |
The correct answer is Option (4) → Sunday Step 1: Find the 7th day The problem states that the 7th day is "three days earlier than a Friday."
So, the 7th day is a Tuesday. Step 2: Find the 19th day Since the 7th is a Tuesday, we can add weeks (7 days) to find subsequent Tuesdays:
Now, we count forward from the 14th to the 19th:
Alternatively, the difference between the days is $19 - 7 = 12$ days. $12 \text{ days} = 1 \text{ week and } 5 \text{ odd days}$. Tuesday + 5 days = Sunday. |
