Step-by-Step Solution

They meet every LCM(6, 8) = 24 days. 24 = 3 weeks + 3 days, so each meeting moves the weekday on by 3. To come back to Monday we need 3 to be a multiple of 7, i.e. meetings: days. 7 January + 168 days = 24 June (Jan 24 left, Feb 28, Mar 31, Apr 30, May 31 = 144; 168 − 144 = 24). (31 January is their next meeting, a Thursday.)
Answer: C) 24 June
