Logical Reasoning

Syllogism

Easy

What day is the fourteenth of a given month?

Statement I: The last day of the month is a Wednesday.

Statement II: The third Saturday of the month was seventeenth.

if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question;

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

if the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

if the data even in both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question;

✅ Correct Option: 2

Only Statement II is sufficient to answer the question, as we can go back 3 days to find what day it was on the 14th.

Statement I lacks sufficient information as it's not specified what month it is, so it could contain 28, 30 or 31 days.
