Question

If the 5th date of a month is Tuesday, what date will be 3 days after the 3rd Friday in the month?

• A. \( 17 \)
• B. \( 22 \)
• C. \( 19 \)
• D. \( 18 \)

Hint:

To determine a specific weekday, count forward using the known weekday of a fixed date.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identifying the weekday of the 1st of the month.
Since 5th is a Tuesday, counting backward:
4th - Monday, 3rd - Sunday, 2nd - Saturday, 1st - Friday
Step 2: Finding the 3rd Friday.
- 1st Friday = 1st
- 2nd Friday = 8th
- 3rd Friday = 15th
Step 3: Adding 3 days to the 3rd Friday.
\[ 15 + 3 = 18 \] Thus, the correct answer is (D) 18.
