Exact weekday after 84 days — If today is Wednesday, what day will it be after 84 days?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Wednesday

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Because 7 divides evenly into many day counts, some questions land on the same weekday after the span. Here we check whether 84 is a multiple of 7 to determine if the weekday repeats exactly.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Today: Wednesday.
  • Advance: 84 days.
  • Week repeats every 7 days.


Concept / Approach:
Compute 84 mod 7. If the remainder is 0, the weekday remains unchanged after the span.



Step-by-Step Solution:
84 ÷ 7 = 12 exactly ⇒ remainder 0.Remainder 0 ⇒ same weekday as today.Therefore the day after 84 days is Wednesday.



Verification / Alternative check:
Each full week returns to the same weekday; 12 full weeks later remains Wednesday.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Monday, Tuesday, Sunday imply nonzero remainders (−2, −1, or +4), none of which match remainder 0.



Common Pitfalls:
Adding 1 because of inclusive counting; the standard method is remainder arithmetic relative to today.



Final Answer:
Wednesday
