The question below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements is sufficient to answer the question.

The last Tuesday of February 2024 fell on which date?

I. The first Tuesday of that month fell on 6th.

II. The last day of that month was Thursday.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

February 2024 is a leap year, so it has 29 days.


Using Statement I: The first Tuesday fell on 6th.

If the first Tuesday is on the 6th, subsequent Tuesdays occur every 7 days:

Tuesdays: 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th

Since February 2024 has 29 days, we check if there's another Tuesday after the 27th:

27+7=34>2927 + 7 = 34 > 29

The last Tuesday of February 2024 is the 27th.

Statement I alone is sufficient.


Using Statement II: The last day (29th) was Thursday.

Working backwards from February 29th being Thursday:

  • February 28th: Wednesday
  • February 27th: Tuesday
  • February 26th: Monday

Since 27+7=34>2927 + 7 = 34 > 29, there is no Tuesday after the 27th.

The last Tuesday of February 2024 is the 27th.

Statement II alone is sufficient.


Since the data in either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, the correct answer is Option 4.
