The Correct Option is A, B, C

Solution and Explanation

To solve this logical reasoning problem, we must arrange the days based on the given conditions. Let's break down the statements:
  • Sundays are longer than Mondays: Sunday > Monday
  • Mondays are shorter than Fridays: Monday < Friday
  • Wednesdays are shorter than Saturdays, and Saturdays are shorter than Sundays: Wednesday < Saturday < Sunday
  • Thursdays are shorter than Saturdays: Thursday < Saturday
  • Tuesdays are longer than Saturdays: Tuesday > Saturday
  • Wednesdays and Thursdays are both longer than Fridays: Wednesday, Thursday > Friday

Based on these statements, the arrangement is:

  • Sunday is longer than Saturday, which is shorter than Tuesday. Therefore, Tuesday could be the longest.
  • Monday is shorter than Friday and both Wednesday and Thursday are longer than Friday. Thus, Monday is the shortest.
  • Both Wednesday and Thursday are longer than Friday and Thursday is shorter than Saturday, hence Wednesday could be as long as Thursday.

Evaluating the options:

  1. Wednesdays could be as long as Thursdays: True, as both are longer than Fridays.
  2. Tuesdays could be the longest days of the week: True, as Tuesday is longer than Saturday and no conditions state any day longer than Tuesday.
  3. Mondays are the shortest days of the week: True, as Monday is shorter than Friday and both Wednesday and Thursday are longer than Friday.
  4. Fridays could be as long as Sundays: False, since Sunday is always longer than Monday, which is longer than Friday.
