Question

If the starting day of a month is Monday, what will be the frequency of the number of Sundays in that month?

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 4

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Mondays}& \text{Sundays}\\ \text{Day 1 is Monday}& \text{Day 7 is a Sunday}\\ \text{Day 8 is a Monday}& \text{Day 14 is a Sunday}\\ \text{Day 15 is a Monday}& \text{Day 21 is a Sunday}\\ \text{Day 22 is a Monday}& \text{Day 28 is a Sunday}\\ \text{Day 29 is a Monday}& \text{No more Sundays in the}\\ & \text{month as it would exceed}\\ & \text{the number of days in a month}\end{array}$

So, irrespective of the number of days that the month has, if we have a month beginning on a Monday, the maximum number of Sundays we can have is 4.
