Concept:Count the days forward from the inward receipt to the disposal date to find the correct weekday.
Explanation:Let the day the inward clerk received the application be
D.
The inward clerk forwarded it to the senior clerk's table on the next day, which is
D+1.
The senior clerk was on leave on that day, so he put up the application to the desk officer on the following day, i.e.
D+2.
The desk officer disposed of the matter on the same day, and that day was Friday.
Hence,
D+2 is Friday.
So
D must be Wednesday, because Wednesday plus
2 days is Friday.
Therefore, the application was received by the inward clerk on Wednesday.
Answer:Wednesday (Option C).
