If the seventh day of a month is three days earlier than Friday, what day will it be on the nineteenth day of the month?
- a.Saturday
- b.Monday
- c.Sunday
- d.Tuesday
Answer: (C) Sunday
Three days before Friday is Tuesday, so the 7th is a Tuesday. Dates that differ by a multiple of 7 fall on the same weekday, so the 14th and the 21st are also Tuesdays. The 19th is two days before the 21st, i.e. a Sunday. Alternatively, from the 7th to the 19th is 12 days, which is one week and 5 days, and five days after Tuesday is Sunday. Read "earlier than" carefully: if you count three days after Friday by mistake you start from Monday and get the wrong day.
