Question

If the 11^th day of a month having 31 days is a Saturday, which of the following days will occur five times in that month?

1. Tuesday
2. Sunday
3. Friday
4. Saturday

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Friday

The logic followed here is:

Given: 11^th day of the month is Saturday and the total number of days is 31.

Previously Saturday would have been failing on the date:

11^th – 7 = 4^th

The day before Saturday is

1. Friday

2. Thursday

3. Wednesday

Friday is 3^rd day of the month.

This means next Friday will fail on the dates:

3^rd + 7 = 10^th

Next

10^th + 7 = 17^th.

Next

17^th + 7 = 24^th

Next

24^th + 7 = 31^th

Thus we can see there are 5 Friday (3, 10, 17, 24, 31).

Hence, the correct answer is “Friday”.
