If second Saturday and all Sundays are holidays in a 29 days month beginning with Saturday, then how many days are working in the month ?
Answer: C
There are 24 working days.
If the 29-day month begins on a Saturday, the Saturdays fall on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th, and the Sundays on the 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd.
The holidays are the second Saturday (the 8th) and the four Sundays, 5 days in all, so
\[ 29 - 5 = 24 \]
25 is what you get by counting only the four Sundays and forgetting the second Saturday. 23 and 22 count six or seven holidays, as if more than one Saturday were off; only the second Saturday is a holiday here.
