Answer 2

The correct answer is Monday.

Explanation:

Given: Patrick is 53 weeks older than Pearl, Pearl is 462 days older than Anna and Patrick was born on Monday.

To Find: The day on which Anna was born

Find: We can solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

• We have to keep this thing in our mind that "the same day of a week is repeated in the time gap of one week or 7 days. If we start counting from Monday then in the gap of 7 days another Monday will arrive" to solve this mathematical problem.
• Similarly,
• Patrick is 53 weeks older than Pearl and Patrick was born on Monday. Due to time gap of perfect weeks, the birthday of Pearl will also fall on a Monday.
• Now, the time gap between Pearl's birthday and Anna's birthday is 462 days.
• 462 days = 462÷7 weeks = 66 weeks
• Similarly, the time gap is in the number of perfect weeks, so Anna's birthday will also fall on a Monday.

Hence, the correct answer is Monday.
