Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C August 24
January 1, 2000 → Saturday
January 6, 2000 → Thursday (First Thursday of the year)
January 13, 2000 → Thursday (Second of the year)
Similarly, we only have to add 7 days to get the next Thursday since it forms an AP, with first-term = 6 and common difference = 7.
34th Thursday will be on = 6+(33*7) = 237th day of the year.
237 = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 24
So, the required day is the 24th day of the 8th month → August 24
January 1, 2000 → Saturday
January 6, 2000 → Thursday (First Thursday of the year)
January 13, 2000 → Thursday (Second of the year)
Similarly, we only have to add 7 days to get the next Thursday since it forms an AP, with first-term = 6 and common difference = 7.
34th Thursday will be on = 6+(33*7) = 237th day of the year.
237 = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 24
So, the required day is the 24th day of the 8th month → August 24
