Statement 1 gives the day of the last day of the month (Wednesday) but does not specify the number of days in the month (28, 29, 30, or 31). The day of the 14th would vary depending on the month's length, so statement 1 alone is insufficient. Statement 2 states that the third Saturday of the month was on the seventeenth. If the 17th is a Saturday, we can determine the day of any other date in the month relative to the 17th. To find the day of the 14th, we go back 3 days from the 17th (17 - 14 = 3). If the 17th is Saturday, then the 16th is Friday, the 15th is Thursday, and the 14th is Wednesday. This determination is independent of the total number of days in the month. Therefore, statement 2 alone is sufficient.
What day is the fourteenth of given month? The last day of month is Wednesday. The third Saturday of the month was on seventeenth.
