Question

A husband and wife celebrate their birthdays on the same day of the month, but in different month's. every year, their birthdays fall on the same day of the week. if the husband's birthday is in march and the wife's birthday is later in the year, find the month of the wife's birthday. the hint that I was given to the abovy questionsthe actual day of the month is not mentioned and is unimportant. but if it will help you think more clearly, choose any day that you like, for example the first or the ninth. explain why you should not choose the 31st of the month

Answer 1

- Let us assume the husband's birthday is on any day in March, say 1st of March.

- March 1st this year, falls on a Tuesday.

- We simply need to find another month where the 1st of that month also falls on a Tuesday.

- Going through a calendar for 2022, we have the following:

March 1st : Tuesday

April 1st : Friday

May 1st : Sunday

June 1st : Wednesday

July 1st : Friday

August 1st : Monday

September 1st : Thursday

October 1st :Saturday

November 1st : Tuesday

December 1st : Thursday

- The only other month that has Tuesday on the first of that month, is November.

- Also, if we decide to choose any other day in March, say, 9th, we see that 9th of November also falls on the same day of the week as 9th of March.

- Thus, we can conclude that the month of the Wife's birthday must be November.

(Note: This answer is predicated upon which year you begin counting. This answer uses 2022, but 2021 would have yielded a different answer)

Final Answer

The answer is NOVEMBER
