Question

Today is Friday. The day after 63 days will be:

  1. A. Friday
  2. B. Thursday
  3. C. Saturday (Correct answer)
  4. 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.
