July have 31 days. So Jackie would had have 31*3 pills = 93 pills if he had started on 7 am on July 1 morning.
Since he skipped that pill.
He took only 92 pills in July
3 more pills on august 1
+ 3 more pills on august 2
----------------------------
92+3+3=98 pills
His other two pills will be over on 2nd prescribed time on august 3 that is 3 PM
Answer is E
