Question:

If 17th March falls on 4th day after tomorrow which is Thursday, then what day of week will fall on the last date of the month?

Options:

Sunday

Tuesday

Friday

Monday

Correct Answer:

Monday

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Monday

To find the day of the week for the last date of March, let's break down the information given:

  1. Identify "Tomorrow": The phrase "tomorrow which is Thursday" tells us that tomorrow is Thursday. This implies that today is Wednesday.
  2. Calculate the 17th of March: We are told the 17th of March falls on the 4th day after tomorrow.
    • Tomorrow = Thursday
    • 1st day after tomorrow = Friday
    • 2nd day after tomorrow = Saturday
    • 3rd day after tomorrow = Sunday
    • 4th day after tomorrow = Monday
    • Therefore, March 17th is a Monday.
  3. Identify the last date of the month: March has 31 days. We need to find the day of the week for March 31st.
  4. Calculate the day for March 31st:
    • Number of days from March 17th to March 31st = $31 - 17 = 14$ days.
    • Since 14 is exactly two weeks ($14 \div 7 = 2$ weeks), the day of the week remains the same.
    • Alternatively: 17th (Mon), 24th (Mon), 31st (Mon).

Final Answer:

The last date of the month (March 31st) will be a Monday
