Answer:
True statement:
There is a day of the year that is the birthday of at least 3 monks
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
There are exactly 733 monks in the world.
Statement 1:
Every day of the year, it's a monk's birthday.
This statement is not true always, because a particular day can be the birthday of many monks and there can be a day in the year which is not a birthday of a single monk.
Statement 2:
There is a day of the year that is the birthday of exactly 3 monks.
This statement is not true always, Because a day in the year doesn't need to be the birthday of exactly 3 monks.
Statement 3:
There is a monk who celebrates his birthday on a Tuesday.
This statement is not true always, because it is possible that none of the monk's birthdays fall on a Tuesday.
Statement 4:
There is a day of the year that is the birthday of at least 3 monks.
This statement is true because there are 733 monks and 365 days in the year so there is a day in the year in which at least 3 monks celebrates their birthday.
Statement 5:
Some monk turns years at the weekend.
This statement is not true always, because it is possible to have none of the monk's birthdays fall on weekends.
Answer: There is a day of the year that is the birthday of at least 3 monks
