- As it is mentioned in the question that we have exactly 4 Mondays and 4
Fridays , so it is clear that the October month has 4 weeks at least
that means 28 days.
So, now our approach is to fix the remaining 3 days as the October month
is of 31 days. These 3 days can be 1st,2nd and 3rd October or can be
29th, 30th and 31st October.
Case-1-> suppose Friday is 1st October, then after exactly after 4 weeks
29th October will have Friday, that means there will be 5 Fridays, which
is not matching with the condition given in the question.
Similarly if 1st is on Saturday, then exactly after 4 weeks :-
29th October = Saturday
30th October = Sunday
31st October = Monday
So again we will get 5 Mondays, which is not matching with our condition
of only 4 Mondays.
Similarly, if 1 is on Sunday then also there will be 5 Mondays
If 1st is on Monday then also there will be 5 Mondays
Case-2-> Now if 1st is on Tuesday, then exactly after 4 weeks:-
29th October = Tuesday
30th October = Wednesday
31st October = Thursday
So this case is following our condition of having exactly 4 Mondays and
4 Fridays
Now, if u keep 1st on Wednesday then again we will have 31st October on
Friday. That means we will have 5 Fridays.
So on 20th of November, it is
Wednesday............................................. Hence
