Question

Which of the following years is not a leap year?

• A. $1600$
• B. $1000$
• C. $800$
• D. $1200$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$1000$

For a leap year we should check two things:

If it is a century year, then check if the number is divisible by 400, if yes then it is a leap year.
If we have a year apart from century year i.e 1992 or 1984, then check if it is divisible by 4, if yes then it is a leap year.

Here, option A, C and D are divisible by 400, so these are leap years.

Only option B is divisible by 4 and not by 400, so it is not a leap year.

Hence, option B.
