. If Monday falls on 5th of month, then which day will fall three days...
To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of finding the day of the week for a given date using the calendar.
Step 1: We know that Monday falls on the 5th of the month.
Step 2: We need to find the day that falls three days after the 26th of the month.
Step 3: To find the day of the week for a given date, we can use the following formula:
[(Date + Month Code + Year Code + Century Code) % 7]
- Date: The day of the month we want to find the day for (e.g., 5, 26)
- Month Code: A code for each month of the year (e.g., March = 2, April = 5)
- Year Code: A code for each year based on the last two digits (e.g., 21 for 2021)
- Century Code: A code for each century (e.g., 0 for 1900s, 6 for 2000s)
Step 4: Let's apply this formula to find the day that falls three days after the 26th.
- Date = 26
- Month Code = 0 (since we are using January as the reference month)
- Year Code = 21
- Century Code = 6 (since we are in the 2000s)
[(26 + 0 + 21 + 6) % 7] = 1
Step 5: The result is 1, which corresponds to Monday.
Step 6: Since we know that Monday falls on the 5th of the month, we can count forward three days from the 26th to get the date that we are looking for:
- 26 + 3 = 29
Step 7: To find the day of the week for the 29th, we can use the same formula:
- Date = 29
- Month Code = 0
- Year Code = 21
- Century Code = 6
[(29 + 0 + 21 + 6) % 7] = 4
Step 8: The result is 4, which corresponds to Thursday. Therefore, the answer is option D, Thursday.
