Calendar / early vs late arrival (variant): Arriving on Friday, I am two days earlier than the scheduled day. If I had arrived on the following Wednesday, how many days late would I have been?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Three days

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Again we compare two arrival dates to a fixed schedule day.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Arrived Friday = 2 days early.
  • Scheduled = Friday + 2 = Sunday.
  • Hypothetical arrival: following Wednesday.


Concept / Approach:
Compute the gap from scheduled Sunday to Wednesday.



Step-by-Step Solution:

Scheduled: Sunday.Sunday → Wednesday = +3 days ⇒ 3 days late.


Verification / Alternative check:
Count: Mon (+1), Tue (+2), Wed (+3).



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Final Answer:
Three days
