What will be the sum of number of Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays in May 2014?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
May 2014 has 31 days.
1 May 2014 = Thursday
(Calculation: 2014 = 2000 + 14 → 14 + 3 = 17 → 17 ÷ 7 = 3 odd days
Jan to Apr days = 31+28+31+30 = 120 → 120 ÷ 7 = 1 odd day
Total odd days till 1 May = 3+1 = 4 → Thursday)
Starting Thursday, 31 days = 4 weeks + 3 days (Thu, Fri, Sat)
Saturdays = 5 (1 in extra 3 days + 4 in full weeks)
Sundays = 4
Mondays = 4
Total = 5 + 4 + 4 = 13
Correct Answer: 13
