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

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Day after tomorrow

Explanation:


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
