If the national day of a country was celebrated on the 4th Saturday of a month, then find the date of celebration in that month, when the first day of the month is Tuesday.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 26th
To find the date of the 4th Saturday, we first need to determine when the very first Saturday of the month occurs.
1. Find the First Saturday
We are given that the 1st day of the month is Tuesday.
- 1st: Tuesday
- 2nd: Wednesday
- 3rd: Thursday
- 4th: Friday
- 5th: Saturday (1st Saturday)
2. Calculate the Remaining Saturdays
Since a week has 7 days, we simply add 7 to find the subsequent Saturdays:
- 1st Saturday: 5th
- 2nd Saturday: $5 + 7 =$ 12th
- 3rd Saturday: $12 + 7 =$ 19th
- 4th Saturday: $19 + 7 =$ 26th
Conclusion
The national day was celebrated on the 26th.
