Question

Adam is 32 years old but has only celebrated 8 birthdays. If he has celebrated everytime his birthday came up, on which day did he take birth?

• A. On a 1st
• B. On a 7th
• C. On a 29th
• D. On a 31st

Answer 1

The correct option is C On a 29th

A leap year occurs only once in 4 years. And the leap day in a leap year is the 29th of February.

So, if Adam was born on the 29th of February, he would only get to celebrate his birthday every fourth year.

$32÷4=8$

Hence, if Adam was born on the 29th of February, he would only clebrate his birthday 8 times in 32 years.
