Answer 1

Hint: Here we will use the series and sequence of the seven days of the week and understand the terms between “after” and “before”. After means the next day and before means the day previous day. Follow the given data and find the required day accordingly.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We know that there are seven days in the week.
The sequence of the days are as below –
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Given that two days after tomorrow will be Thursday,
So today is Monday, tomorrow is Tuesday and two days after it is Thursday
Today is Monday so yesterday will be Sunday and two days before Sunday will be Friday
Hence, from the given multiple choices – the option A is the correct answer.
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: Don’t get confused between the terms after and before and apply as per the given word statements. When it is given after moving forwards in the week days and when it is given before going backwards in the weekdays. Cross check the answer once received with the given data.
