• A.
  August 31
• B.
  September 3
• C.
  August 24
• D.
  September 21

Answer 1

The correct option is C

August 24
Explanation:

January 1, 2000 → Saturday
January 6, 2000 → Thursday (First Thursday of the year)
34th Thursday will be on $=6+(33\times 7)=237$th day of the year.

237th day $=31\left(Jan\right)+29\left(Feb\right)+31\left(Mar\right)+30\left(Apr\right)+31\left(May\right)+30\left(Jun\right)$
$+31\left(Jul\right)+24\left(Aug\right)$
So, the required day is the 24th day of the 8th month → August 24.
