NIMHANS Nursing Officer - 2021
Reasoning
Hard
Day before yesterday was saturday then the day after tomorrow will be?
Appeared in: NIMHANS Nursing Officer - 2021
Explanation
- The premise is that the 'day before yesterday was Saturday'.
- Based on this, 'yesterday' was Sunday, which makes 'today' Monday.
- The question asks for the 'day after tomorrow'.
- Counting forward from today (Monday), tomorrow is Tuesday, and the day after tomorrow is Wednesday.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option B: Tuesday is 'tomorrow', not the 'day after tomorrow'. The question requires moving two days forward from today.
- Option C: Friday is four days after today (Monday). This does not match the 'day after tomorrow' timeline.
- Option D: Saturday was the 'day before yesterday' according to the premise. It cannot also be the 'day after tomorrow'.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Logical Reasoning - Days and Calendar as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- This type of question does not have direct clinical relevance.
- It tests basic logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, which are essential for nurses in making sound clinical judgments and managing complex patient care scenarios.
- What if? If the question stated 'the day after tomorrow is Saturday', the logic would be reversed. 'Tomorrow' would be Friday, and 'today' would be Thursday. The 'day before yesterday' would then have been Tuesday.
How to Approach the Question
- First, carefully read the premise given in the question: 'Day before yesterday was Saturday'.
- Use this premise to establish what 'today' is. Work forwards: If the day before yesterday was Saturday, then yesterday was Sunday, and today is Monday.
- Next, identify what the question is asking for: 'the day after tomorrow'.
- Starting from 'today' (Monday), count forward to find the answer. Tomorrow is Tuesday, so the day after tomorrow is Wednesday.
- Finally, select the option that matches your result.
