Step-by-Step Solution

August 2030 starts on Thursday and has 31 days, so Thursday, Friday and Saturday occur 5 times. Monday-to-Friday days: 5 (Thu) + 5 (Fri) + (Mon, Tue, Wed) = 22. Holidays: 15 August (Thursday) is off; 18 August is a Sunday, so Monday 19 August is off instead. 22 − 2 = 20. (21 forgets the substitute Monday; 22 ignores both holidays.)
Answer: B) 20
