Question

How many Mondays are there in particular month of a particular year if the month ends on Wednesday?

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 3
• D. Cannot be specified

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine the number of Mondays in a month that ends on a Wednesday, we need to analyze the possible lengths of the month: 28, 29, 30, or 31 days. Depending on which day the month starts, the number of Mondays can vary.

A month ending on Wednesday means that the last day of the month, i.e., 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st day, is a Wednesday. Let's consider each scenario for calculations:

• 28-day month: If the month starts on a Thursday, it will end on Wednesday. In this case, the Mondays are 4.
• 29-day month: If the month starts on a Wednesday, it will end on a Wednesday as well. In this case, the Mondays are 4.
• 30-day month: If the month starts on a Tuesday, it will end on a Wednesday. In this case, the Mondays are 4.
• 31-day month: If the month starts on a Monday, it will end on a Wednesday. In this case, the Mondays are 5.

As demonstrated, depending upon the month's duration and start day, the number of Mondays can either be 4 or 5. Hence, without specific information about the starting day and length of the month, the exact number of Mondays cannot be determined specifically. Thus, the answer is Cannot be specified.
