Correct Answer - Option 2 : Thursday

5th Monday of April is possible only on two dates : 29th April or 30th April

Case 1 : 29th April Monday

No. of days from 30th April to 1st November = ( 1 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 1 ) = 186 Days

No. of odd days = 186 

÷ 7 = 26 weeks and 4 odd days

1 November = Friday

29th November and 30th November are Friday and Saturday respectively. 

So, in this case 5th Thursday is not possible.

Case 2 :  30th April Monday

No. of days from 1st May to 1st November = ( 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 1 ) = 185 Days

No. of odd days = 185  ÷ 7 = 26 weeks and 3 odd days

So, 1st November will be Thursday.

Therefore, 29th November will be 5th Thursday. Birthday of second child is on 29th November.

Thursdays in December = 6th December, 13th December, 20th December, 27th December.

Hence, Thursday is the correct answer.
