It fell on the 26th.
c) Either 1 or 2 is sufficient
Checking if the 1st statement alone is sufficient:
If 5th was the first Sunday,
Then the second Sunday was on the 12th.
In the same manner, the third Sunday was on the 19th.
Fourth and last Sunday on 26th.
Therefore statement 1 alone is sufficient.
Checking if the statement 2 alone is sufficient:
March ends with the 31st.
If it's on a Friday, then that would give us the
Last Thursday of the month: 30th
Last Wednesday of the month: 29th
Last Tuesday of the month: 28th
Last Monday of the month: 27th
Last Sunday of the month: 26th
Therefore statement 2 alone is also sufficient.
Hope this helps you!
