The probability that a non-leap year selected at random will have 53 Sunday is
- A 0
- B \(1 / 7\)
- C \(2 / 7\)
- D \(3 / 7\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(1 / 7\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a non-leap year,total number of days is 365 . Out of them, there are 52 weeks and 1 day extra. Thus, a non-leap year always has 52 Sunday. The remaining 1 day can be Sunday, Monday, Tuenday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sarurday. Out of these 7 cases, we have Sunday in one…
