Explanation:
We can solve this question by using a simple calculation.
Let's assume that today is Friday.
- Day before-yesterday (2 days before today) would be Wednesday.
- Tomorrow (1 day after today) would be Saturday.
- Day after-tomorrow (2 days after today) would be Sunday.
Since the question asks about the day before-yesterday when the day after-tomorrow is Sunday, we can conclude that today is Friday. Therefore, the answer is Tuesday, which is two days before Friday.

Total number of students who have failed
= (40 + 1) – (13 + 17)
⇒ (41 – 30) = 11
= (40 + 1) – (13 + 17)
⇒ (41 – 30) = 11

Arranging digits according to question.
265, 178, 834, 357
Hence, third highest would be 265 and 8 be the sum of first and second digits of the number.

Calculation:
To calculate the day of the week on 31 December 2016, we need to count the number of days between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016 and then find the remainder when dividing by 7.
Step 1: Counting the number of days
From 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016, there are 365 days.
Step 2: Finding the remainder
To find the remainder when dividing by 7, we divide 365 by 7.
365 ÷ 7 = 52 remainder 1
So, there is a remainder of 1 when dividing 365 by 7.
Step 3: Determining the day of the week
Since it was a Friday on 1 January 2016, we count 1 day forward from Friday.
Friday → Saturday (1 day)
Therefore, the day of the week on 31 December 2016 is Saturday.
Explanation:
The question asks for the day of the week on 31 December 2016, given that it was a Friday on 1 January 2016. To solve this, we need to calculate the number of days between these two dates and then find the remainder when dividing by 7.
From 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016, there are 365 days. When we divide 365 by 7, we get a remainder of 1. This means that there is one extra day beyond the complete weeks.
Starting from Friday, we count one day forward, which leads us to Saturday. Therefore, the day of the week on 31 December 2016 is Saturday.
