July has \(31 \) days , hence \(28+3\) , hence it has \(4\) weeks and \(3\) extra days
(1) There were five Tuesdays in the month.
This is only possible if one of the extra days were a Tue. So we could have
Sun, Mon, Tue (i)
Mon, Tue ,Wed, (ii)
Tue , Wed ,Thu (iii)
If (i) were true we have an extra Sunday hence there will be ONE extra race .
If (ii) and (iii) were true , we could not have an extra race.
Since we are getting two different number of races. This is INSUFF.
(2) The twenty-fifth of July was a Thursday.
We can easily calculate that \(29\)th, \(30\)th and \(31\)th days of July were Mon, Tue and Wed.
Hence the \(28\)th day was a Sunday.
Which means there were \(4\) whole weeks each beginning with Mon and ending on a Sun, excluding the \(3 \) extra days
Hence there were four Fridays and four Sundays and a total of \(8\) races.
SUFF.

The ques asks for number of Friday and Sunday in that month of july.
The month of july has 31 days : it means 4*7+3 days - 4 complete weeks and 3 additional days.
St 1) There can be 5 tuesday only if one of the additional days is a Tuesday. For example, we might have:
- Sun, Mon, Tue (i)
- Mon, Tue, Wed (ii)
- Tue, Wed, Thu (iii)
Number of Sundays can be 5 in case (i) and 4 in other cases.
NOT Suff.
St 2) The twenty-fifth of July was a Thursday. Here, we can construct the complete calender for that month and find the number of days for Sunday and Friday.
Sufficient.
