Concept:

Number of days in leap year = 366

Calculation:

A week has 7 days and total days are 366.

⇒ Number of Sundays in a leap year

= 366/7

= 52 Sundays + 2 days

⇒ Total outcomes with 2 days

= (Sunday, Monday), (Monday, Tuesday), (Tuesday, Wednesday), (Wednesday, Thursday), (Thursday, Friday), (Friday, Saturday), (Saturday, Sunday)

= 7

⇒ Number of outcomes without Sundays = 5

⇒ Probability of leap year with 53 Sundays = 2/7

∴ Probability of leap year with 53 Sundays is 2/7.

The correct answer is Option 3.
