Question
Today is Friday. The day after 63 days will be:
- A. Friday
- B. Thursday
- C. Saturday (Correct answer)
- D. Monday
Correct Answer
Option C — Saturday
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Saturday.
Key Points
- The official key marks Saturday, reading "the day after 63 days" as the 64th day from today.
- 63 is exactly 9 × 7, so 63 days from Friday lands on a Friday; the day after that is Saturday.
Additional Information
- Note the ambiguity: read as "63 days from today", the answer would be Friday, since a multiple of 7 always returns the same weekday. The phrasing, not the arithmetic, decides it — so read such questions carefully and follow the key's reading.
- The method for any such question: divide the number of days by 7 and advance by the remainder. A remainder of 0 means the same day.
- Odd days is the standard term for that remainder, and it underpins all calendar problems.
