Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven: The fifth day after tomorrow is Sunday.
Determine "tomorrow".
Let today be "X".
Tomorrow = X + 1 day
Determine "the fifth day after tomorrow".
The fifth day after tomorrow = (X + 1 day) + 5 days = X + 6 days
According to the question, X + 6 days = Sunday.
Determine "today" (X).
X = Sunday - 6 days
Counting back 6 days from Sunday:
Sunday - 1 day = Saturday
Saturday - 1 day = Friday
Friday - 1 day = Thursday
Thursday - 1 day = Wednesday
Wednesday - 1 day = Tuesday
Tuesday - 1 day = Monday
Therefore, today (X) is Monday.
Determine "yesterday".
Yesterday = Today - 1 day = Monday - 1 day = Sunday.
Determine "the second day before yesterday".
The second day before yesterday = Yesterday - 2 day
= Sunday - 2 day = Friday.
Thus, the second day before yesterday would be Friday.
Hence, the correct answer is "Friday."
Alternate Method Given: the fifth day after tomorrow is Sunday.
Fifth day after tomorrow is Sunday.
Today is: Monday.
Tomorrow is: Tuesday.
Yesterday was: Sunday.
Second Day before yesterday was: Friday.
