If the 4th Sunday of a month was the 25th day, then what was the 14th day of the month?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The 4th Sunday of the month falls on the 25th day.

To find the previous Sundays, subtract 7 days for each week:

  • 3rd Sunday: 25−7=1825 - 7 = 18th
  • 2nd Sunday: 25−14=1125 - 14 = 11th
  • 1st Sunday: 25−21=425 - 21 = 4th

So the 4th day of the month is a Sunday.


To find what day the 14th is, calculate the number of days from the nearest Sunday.

From the 4th (Sunday) to the 14th:

14−4=1014 - 4 = 10 days


Converting 10 days to weeks and remaining days:

10=7+310 = 7 + 3

This means the 14th is 1 week and 3 days after Sunday.


Counting 3 days forward from Sunday:

  • Sunday + 1 day = Monday
  • Sunday + 2 days = Tuesday
  • Sunday + 3 days = Wednesday

Therefore, the 14th day of the month was a Wednesday.

The correct answer is Option 4: Wednesday.
