If the day after tomorrow is Sunday, then what day was “tomorrow’s day before yesterday”? (Assume standard consecutive days.)

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Thursday

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This is a verbal logic/calendar question testing careful parsing of relative-day phrases.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • “Day after tomorrow” = Sunday.


Concept / Approach:
Let today be T. If T + 2 = Sunday, then T = Friday.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Tomorrow = T + 1 = Saturday.“Tomorrow’s day before yesterday” = (T + 1) − 2 = T − 1 = Thursday.



Verification / Alternative check:
Enumerate: Thu (T − 1), Fri (T), Sat (T + 1), Sun (T + 2). Works.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Friday/Monday/Tuesday result from offset mistakes (±1 error).



Common Pitfalls:
Reversing “tomorrow’s day before yesterday” as “day before tomorrow” (which would be today).



Final Answer:
Thursday
