Relative days – If the day after tomorrow is Friday, what weekday will it be on the third day after tomorrow?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Sunday

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:This tests translating from a forward relative-day clue to another forward offset based on the same “tomorrow” anchor.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Day after tomorrow = Friday.
  • Find the weekday on the third day after tomorrow.

Concept / Approach:If today is T and T+2 = Friday, then T = Wednesday. The third day after tomorrow is (T+1) + 3 = T + 4.

Step-by-Step Solution:T + 2 = Friday → T = Wednesday.Tomorrow = Thursday (T+1).Third day after tomorrow = T + 4 = Wednesday + 4 = Sunday.

Verification / Alternative check:List sequentially: Thu (T+1), Fri (T+2), Sat (T+3), Sun (T+4). Matches the request and the given clue.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Saturday/Monday/Friday are each off by one from the T+4 target computed from T = Wednesday.

Common Pitfalls:Accidentally counting “tomorrow” as day 1 when the phrase says “third day after tomorrow,” which starts counting after tomorrow.

Final Answer:Sunday
