Answer 1

Hint: In the given question we have to find the number of days for which school remains closed, and it is from May to July. We know that May and June both have 31 ,30 days in a month respectively, since we calculate the days from 2nd May from 8th July. Then by adding or subtracting the rest of the days we get the exact answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We know that both May and June both have 31,30 days in a month respectively.
Since vacations start from 2nd May and school reopened on 8th July.
Now from the above sentence:
Vacations start from 2nd May, it means the schools remain closed for 30 days, Means schools are open only for one day in May.
31 - 1 = 30 Days.
After that schools remain closed form the whole month of June, and June has 30days in the month.
Now from the question:
School reopened on 8th July, means it is closed for 7 days in the month of July.
Therefore school remains closed for = 30 + 30 + 7 = 67 days.
It means school remains closed for 67 days.
This is our answer.


Note: For these types of questions we have to remember how many days in a month. This is a very easy question since we know the number of days in the month of May and July. After that, according to the question makes equations for number of days school open and number of days school remains closed. After adding the number of days school remains closed, we get the correct answer.
