Solution

The correct option is A
There are 366 days in a leap year, in which there are 52 weeks and 2 days. The combination of 2 days can be
Sunday – Monday
Monday – Tuesday
Tuesday – Wednesday
Wednesday – Thursday
Thursday – Friday
Friday – Saturday
Saturday – Sunday
P (53 Fridays) =27;P(53 Saturdays) = 27
P (53 Fridays and 53 Saturdays) = 17
P(53 Fridays or Saturdays)
= P(53 Fridays) + P(53 Saturdays)
– P(53 Fridays or Saturdays)
=27+2717=37
