Question

Garima celebrated her birthday on $1^{st}$ Jan, 2016. Her friend Sushweta gave her a countdown timer which shows number of hours remaining for her next birthday. The initial number of hours shown in the timer is:

• A. 8760
• B. 8772
• C. 8784
• D. 8736

Answer 1

The correct option is C

8784

If we look carefully we see that 2016 is a leap year. So, there will be 366 days before Garima’s next birthday. Thus, we have,

No. of days = 366

There are 24 hours in 1 day.

$\Rightarrow$ No. of hours = 366 $\times$ 24

$\Rightarrow$ No. of hours = 8784
