UPSC CAPF – 2020
If today is represented as ‘T’, then ‘yesterday’ is T-1 day, and ‘the day before yesterday’ is T-2 days.
So, T-2 days = Tuesday.
To find ‘Today’ (T), we add 2 days to Tuesday: Tuesday + 1 day = Wednesday, Wednesday + 1 day = Thursday.
Therefore, Today is Thursday.
We are asked when Saturday will be.
If Today is Thursday, then Tomorrow (T+1 day) is Friday, and the Day after tomorrow (T+2 days) is Saturday.
– Work backward from the given information (“the day before yesterday was Tuesday”) to determine ‘Today’.
– Work forward from ‘Today’ to find when the target day (Saturday) occurs.
