From the given data we can observe that the worker repeats same cycle after every 9 days(i.e starts work on 10th day after taking rest). So he will start his work on completion of 12 complete cycles (i.e 12*9=108days). the no. of odd days is 108%7=3. So Monday +3= Thursday. This means he again start his work on Thursday completing 12 full cycles. Therefore Wednesday will be his 12th rest day.
