D. Thursday​

Answer 1

A. Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to this problem can be found by creating a table

If Day 1 was Monday, then

Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri Sat Sun

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

8 9 10 11 12 13 14

...............

We can see that the multiples of 7 are falling on Sundays so we will divide 36 by 7 to get the closest multiple of 7 to 36.

The closest multiple of 7 near 36 is 35 so Day 35th will fall on Sunday and Day 36 will be on Monday

Hence, Option A is the correct answer..
