Suppose March of some year starts on a Friday. Which one of these weekdays is repeated five times during that March?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Saturday
March has 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days. Every weekday comes 4 times in the 4 full weeks; the first 3 weekdays of the month come once more in the last 3 days.
\(31=4\times7+3\)
1st March is a Friday, so 2nd March is a Saturday and 3rd March a Sunday
The last 3 days, 29th, 30th and 31st, are again Friday, Saturday and Sunday
So Friday, Saturday and Sunday occur 5 times; of the options, only Saturday
