The question below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements is sufficient to answer the question.
The last Tuesday of February 2024 fell on which date?
I. The first Tuesday of that month fell on 6th.
II. The last day of that month was Thursday.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
2024 is a leap year, so February 2024 has 29 days, and days with the same weekday are 7 dates apart. Each statement is tested on its own.
Statement I alone (first Tuesday on the 6th):
Tuesdays fall on 6, 13, 20 and 27
The next one would be the 34th, beyond 29, so the last Tuesday is the 27th: sufficient
Statement II alone (last day a Thursday):
The last day is the 29th, a Thursday
Tuesday comes two days before Thursday, so the last Tuesday is the 27th: sufficient
