    Answer: b. 3

    Therefore, we will have the same number of Mondays and Wednesdays if the first day is either Monday, Thursday or Friday. Making 3 possible days

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that there are 31 days in the month.

    And there are equal number of Mondays and Wednesdays within a 7 day bracket.

    30 - 4 (7) = 3days

    After four weeks we are left with three days.

    So, if the first day is;

    Monday - we will have 5 Mondays and Wednesdays each

    Tuesday - we have more Wednesday

    Wednesday - we will have more Wednesday

    Thursday - we will have 4 Mondays and Wednesdays each

    Friday - we will have 4 Mondays and Wednesdays each

    Saturday - we will have more Monday

    Sunday - we will have more Monday

    Therefore, we will have the same number of Mondays and Wednesdays if the first day is either Monday, Thursday or Friday. Making 3 possible days
