Question

The maximum gap between two successive leap years is? A) 4 B) 8 C) 2 D) 1

Answer 1

The length of the solar year, however, is slightly less than 365 1/4 days by about 11 minutes. To compensate for this discrepancy, the leap year is omitted three times every four hundred years. 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but 1600, 2000, and 2400 are leap years. 1896 is a leap year.The next leap year comes in 1904 (1900 is not a leap year).
