(i) A year has 365 days.

(ii) Years, divisible by 4, are leap years, e.g., 1986. They have 366 days.

(iii) February in a leap year has 29 days.

(iv) The last day of a year is the same as the first day. Thus, if the first day of a year is Friday, then the last day of the year is Friday and the first day of the next year is Saturday. However, if the first day of a leap year is Friday, then the last day of the year is Saturday and the first day of the next year is Sunday

1)

If every second Saturday and all Sundays are holidays in a 30 days month beginning on Saturday, then how many working days are there in that month?


A) 20

B) 21

C) 22

D) 23

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Since the month begins on Saturday, so 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th days are Sundays, while the 8th and 22nd days are second Saturdays. Thus, there are 7 holidays in all.

.'. Number of working days = 3O - 7 = 23.
