If the seventh day of a month is three days earlier than a Friday, what day will be the nineteenth day of the same month?

Thursday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Sunday

✅ Correct Option: 4

Three days earlier than Friday is found by counting backwards:

Friday - 1 day = Thursday

Friday - 2 days = Wednesday

Friday - 3 days = Tuesday

Therefore, the 7th day of the month is a Tuesday.

The number of days from the 7th to the 19th:

$19 - 7 = 12$ days

To find what day it is 12 days after Tuesday, we note that:

$12 = 7 + 5$

After 7 days (one complete week), the day remains Tuesday.

Counting 5 more days from Tuesday:

Tuesday + 1 = Wednesday

Tuesday + 2 = Thursday

Tuesday + 3 = Friday

Tuesday + 4 = Saturday

Tuesday + 5 = Sunday

Therefore, the 19th day of the month is a Sunday.

The answer is Option 4: Sunday.
