Let’s solve each question one by one, carefully and step by step.

Question 1:
> The day before two days after the day before tomorrow is SATURDAY. What day is it today?
Let’s break this down backwards.
We’re told that
some day = Saturday.
That “some day” is:
→ *The day before* (two days after (the day before tomorrow))
Let’s assign variables to make it easier.
Let
today = T
Then:
- Tomorrow = T + 1
- Day before tomorrow = T
- Two days after that = T + 2
- Day before that = T + 1
Wait — let’s do it again with words:
Start from the inside:
“the day before tomorrow” → that’s
today
“two days after [today]” → that’s
today + 2
“the day before [today + 2]” → that’s
today + 1
And we’re told that equals
Saturday
So:
Today + 1 = Saturday
→ Therefore,
Today = Friday
✔ Check:
If today is Friday:
- Day before tomorrow = Friday (since tomorrow is Sat, day before is Fri)
- Two days after Friday = Sunday
- Day before Sunday = Saturday → matches!
Answer for Q1: Friday

Question 2:
> What comes next, most logically, in the following sequence?
S A I B L C V D E E R F A G N H N I I J V K E L R M S N A O R
Options:
a. P Y
b. B Q
c. R R
d. B R
This looks messy at first. Let’s try splitting into pairs or looking for patterns.
Try grouping every 2 letters:
SA IB LC VD EE RF AG NH NI JV KE LR MS NA OR ?
Still not obvious.
What if we look at positions? Maybe alternate sequences?
Another idea: maybe it’s two interleaved sequences?
Let’s split into odd and even positions:
Position 1: S
Position 2: A
Position 3: I
Position 4: B
Position 5: L
Position 6: C
Position 7: V
Position 8: D
Position 9: E
Position 10: E
Position 11: R
Position 12: F
Position 13: A
Position 14: G
Position 15: N
Position
