Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Friday

Solution :

The correct option is Friday.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. We are given that the 3rd day of a given month falls on a Friday.

2. We need to determine the day of the week for the 24th day of the same month.

3. Calculate the number of days between the 24th day and the 3rd day:

Difference in days=24-3=21 days

4. Since there are 7 days in a week, any time interval that is an exact multiple of 7 days will land on the exact same day of the week.

5. Divide the total difference in days by 7 to check the number of weeks and remaining extra days (odd days):

21÷7=3 weeks (with a remainder of 0 days)

6. Since the remainder is 0, adding 21 days to Friday brings us to the same day of the week, which is Friday.

Therefore, the 24th day of the month will also fall on a Friday.
