Class : Class 9
SolutionTotal no. of days in January 20XX = 31 Now, letâs see how many daysâ leave Priya took in January. Priya takes a leave on 2nd Saturday and 4th Saturday in January. That means she takes leave on January 12 and January 26. Thatâs 2 days of leave. There are four Sundays in January â January 6, January 13, January 20 and January 27. Sundays are holidays. Thatâs 4 days of leave. Republic day is also a holiday. But Republic Day falls on January 26, which is 4th Saturday. And Priya has already taken leave on 4th Saturday. So, it has been counted in leave earlier. So, total no. of days when Priya took leave = 2 4 = 6 days. Working days in January 20XX = Total days â Leave days = 31 â 6 = 25 days So, the right answer is Option A.
