• B. Tuesday
• C. Thursday
• D. Wednesday

Hint:

N/A

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine which day of the week 2nd November falls on, given that 2nd October is a Monday, we need to calculate the number of days between these two dates and determine the day of the week based on the initial information.

October has 31 days. Starting from the 2nd of October, the remaining days in October are 31 - 2 = 29 days.

Steps to solve:

1. Calculate the number of days from 2nd October to 2nd November: 29 days in October (from 3rd to 31st) + 2 days in November (1st and 2nd November) = 31 days total.
2. Find out the day of the week 31 days after Monday:

Days of the week cycle every 7 days. Therefore, we need to find 31 modulo 7:

31 ÷ 7 = 4 remainder 3

This means 31 days is equivalent to 4 full weeks and 3 extra days.

Starting from Monday, move 3 days forward:

• Monday + 1 day = Tuesday
• Tuesday + 1 day = Wednesday
• Wednesday + 1 day = Thursday

Thus, 2nd November is a Thursday.
