    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    The play performed every evening except Sunday, which is 6 days per week. There are matinee performances every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday as well, which is an additional 3 days per week. To find the maximum number of performances in 31 consecutive days, we need to include as many Wednesdays, Thursdays and or Saturdays as possible, because these are the days on which the play is performed twice. There will be 4 full weeks in these 31 days, which is 4×7=28 days. In these 4 weeks, there will be 9 plays performed per week: 9×4=36 plays performed. We have 31-28=3 days left. If we started the month on a Wednesday (so Wednesday=1st), the final 3 days after our 4 weeks would be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. As we would not be able to include all of Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday (the days when there are matinee performances) in the 3 days extra to our 4 full weeks, including 2 of them is the best we can get. From these final 3 days, we would have 2+2+1=5 performances. So in total over the 31 days, the maximum number of performances we could have would be 36+5=41.
