Question

Find out the alternative which will replace the question mark. January : November :: Monday : ?

• A. Thursday
• B. Sunday
• C. Tuesday
• D. Saturday

Hint:

In analogy questions, determine if the relation is numerical or positional. Then apply the same logic to the second pair.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The analogy is based on the position in the sequence: - January is the 1st month and November is the 11th month. That is a difference of +10. - Monday is the 1st day of the week. If we move +10 days ahead in a weekly cycle (mod 7), we get: \[ (1 + 10) \mod 7 = 11 \mod 7 = 4 \] The 4th day of the week (starting from Monday) is: 1. Monday 2. Tuesday 3. Wednesday 4. Thursday However, since options assume Sunday as the first day (as per common calendar format), we re-calculate: - Monday is day 2 in that system. - (2 + 10) mod 7 = 12 mod 7 = 5 ⇒ Friday But we need to follow the same shift from January (1st) to November (11th) → move backward 2 positions. - November is 2 months behind January if we go in a backward loop: (Jan = 1, Nov = 11), so moving -2 in modulo-12 gives us the relationship. Apply same logic to Monday (1st day of week): - 2 days before Monday = Saturday Thus, the answer is Saturday.
