• A. Monday
• B. Data Inadequate
• C. Sunday
• D. Tuesday

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Data Inadequate

Solution: If the given month is of 30 days, then Fridays in the month: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 Thus, 1st day of the next month is a Saturday. Saturdays in the next month: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 Thus, the last day of the next month = 31st day of the month = Monday Now, if the given month is of 31 days, then Fridays in the month: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 Thus, 1st day of the next month is a Sunday. Sundays in the next month: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 Thus, the last day of the next month = 31st day of the month = Tuesday Therefore, to determine the exact answer we need to know the number of days in the given month. Hence, the correct answer is ‘Data Inadequate’.
