Have fun with it. 
Date d = Date.newInstance(2015, 4, 30);
Integer nextMonth = d.AddMonths(1).month();
Date targetDate;
Boolean stop = false;
Integer i=7;
while(stop == false){
  targetDate = d.addDays(i);
  if(targetDate.month()==nextMonth) stop = true;
  i = i + 7;
}
System.debug(targetDate);

Hi Sravanthi,
Check this. It's working  
datetime myDate = date.today(); // input date as today.
String formatted1 = myDate.formatGMT('EEEEEEE');
datetime nextmonth=mydate.addmonths(1);
datetime firstDate = date.valueof(nextmonth).toStartOfMonth();
String formatted2 = firstDate.formatGMT('EEEEEEE');
    dateTime d=firstDate;
for(integer i=0;i<7;i++){
    d=firstDate.addDays(i);
    if((myDate.formatGMT('EEEEEEE'))==(d.formatGMT('EEEEEEE'))){
       system.debug('First day '+d);
       }
}
