Question

Leap year occurs once in any 4 consecutive years. State whether the statement is true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

The length of a year is 365.25 days. So, for every four years, the four 0.25 (quarter of a day) days become one day. This extra day is added to the fourth year in the month of February. February usually has 28 days. But during the leap year, there is an addition of 29th day in the calendar. Hence, a leap year occurs once in any 4 consecutive years. Hence, the statement is true.
