CBSEENMA12033575

If a leap year is selected at random, what is the chance that it will contain 53 Tuesdays?

Solution

Leap year contains 366 days.
∴ there are 52 complete weeks and two days other. The following are the possibilities for these two ‘over’ days:
(i) Sunday and Monday (ii) Monday and Tuesday (iii) Tuesday and Wednesday
(iv) Wednesday and Thursday (v) Thursday and Friday (vi) Friday and Saturday (vii) Saturday and Sunday.
Now there will be 53 Tuesdays in a leap year when one of the two over days is a Tuesday.
∴  out of 7 possibilities, two are favourable to this event.
 therefore space space space required space probability space equals space 2 over 7.
