Relative days – If the day before yesterday was Tuesday, identify the weekday that will occur on the day after tomorrow.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Saturday

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This problem reinforces mapping between “day before yesterday,” “today,” and “day after tomorrow.”


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Day before yesterday = Tuesday.
  • Find the day after tomorrow.


Concept / Approach:
If (today - 2) = Tuesday, then today = Thursday. Add two days to reach “day after tomorrow.”


Step-by-Step Solution:
today - 2 = Tuesday → today = Thursday.day after tomorrow = today + 2 = Thursday + 2 = Saturday.


Verification / Alternative check:
Sequence: Tue (T-2), Wed (T-1), Thu (T), Fri (T+1), Sat (T+2). Correct.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday do not align with the derived Thursday baseline plus two days.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “yesterday” with “day before yesterday,” leading to a one-day offset error.


Final Answer:
Saturday
