Solution



To find:
    • Was Madeline’s job interview on a Tuesday

Analysing Statement 1
    • As per the information given in statement 1, exactly 50 hours before the interview, it was Sunday.

We can have two different possibilities from this information:
    • If 50 hours back, it is 00:01 hrs in Sunday, then after 50 hours it will be 02:01 hrs in Tuesday
    • However, if 50 hours back, it is 23:59 hrs in Sunday, then after 50 hours it will be 02:59 hrs in Wednesday

As we can see multiple possibilities exist, we cannot conclude a unique answer

Hence, statement 1 is not sufficient

Analysing Statement 2
    • As per the information given in statement 2, the interview was between 2:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m

As there is no mention about the interview day, we cannot conclude any answer

Hence, statement 2 is not sufficient

Combining Both Statements
Combining both statements, we know:
    • Exactly 50 hours before the interview, it was Sunday
    • And the interview was between 2:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

If it was 2 p.m. Tuesday, 50 hours back it would have been 12:00 hrs Sunday
Similarly, if it was 10 p.m. Tuesday, 50 hours back it would have been 20:00 hrs Sunday

Therefore, we can say the interview was definitely on Tuesday

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Answer: C
