If in a year December has 9 weekends (Saturday and Sunday) then in that year January had how many weekends ?

1. 8
2. 9
3. 10
4. None of these

Correct Option: D

Here we have two cases :
Case (i) : If a month start with Thursday the month will have 5 Saturdays and 4 Sundays i.e total 9 weekends. In this case 31^st December will be Sunday hence 1^st January will be either Sunday (For non leap year) or Saturday ( For leap year) then January will have 9 or 10 weekends.
Case (ii) : If a month start with Sunday the month will have 4 Saturdays and 5 Sundays i.e total 9 weekends.
In this case 31^st December will be Wednesday hence 1^st January will be either Wednesday (For non leap year) or Tuesday ( For leap year) then January will have 8 or 9 weekends.
Hence number of weekends in January will be 8 or 9 or 10.
