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
