Relative days – If the day before yesterday was Saturday, identify the weekday that falls on the day after tomorrow.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Wednesday

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:This item checks translating a backward reference into determining a forward weekday two days ahead of today.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Day before yesterday = Saturday.
  • Find day after tomorrow.

Concept / Approach:Let today be T. If T - 2 = Saturday, then T = Monday. Day after tomorrow = T + 2 = Wednesday.

Step-by-Step Solution:today - 2 = Saturday → today = Monday.day after tomorrow = Monday + 2 = Wednesday.

Verification / Alternative check:Timeline: Sat (T-2), Sun (T-1), Mon (T), Tue (T+1), Wed (T+2). Matches the result.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Friday/Tuesday/Thursday are ±1 or ±2 off from the computed Wednesday.

Common Pitfalls:Mixing up “yesterday” with “day before yesterday.”

Final Answer:Wednesday
