Relative days – If the day before yesterday was Wednesday, determine when Sunday will occur relative to today.

Introduction / Context:The problem links a backward reference (“day before yesterday”) to a forward question (“when is Sunday”).

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Day before yesterday = Wednesday.
• Find Sunday relative to today.

Concept / Approach:If today is T and T - 2 = Wednesday, then today = Friday. Compute Sunday relative to Friday.

Step-by-Step Solution:T - 2 = Wednesday → T = Friday.Tomorrow = Saturday.Day after tomorrow = Sunday.

Verification / Alternative check:Backward confirmation: From Sunday (day after tomorrow), move back two to verify Wednesday as day before yesterday (Sun → Sat → Fri → Thu → Wed pattern consistent across offsets).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:“Tomorrow” would be Saturday; “Today” would be Friday; “3 days after today” would be Monday, none equal Sunday here.

Common Pitfalls:Setting today to Thursday instead of Friday by miscounting “day before yesterday.”

Final Answer:Day after tomorrow
