A leap year consists of 366 days.i.e 52 weeks and 2 days remaining.
These 2 days can be any of the following:
(Mon, Tues),(Tues,Wed),(Wed,Thurs),(Thurs,Fri),(Fri,Sat),(Sat,sun).
The number of cases = 7.
The number of cases in which we get a Friday = 2.
The probability of getting 53 Fridays in a leap year = 2/7.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
There are 366 days in a leap year that is 2 more than 52 full weeks
52×7 + 2 = 366
Therefore now for the last 2 days, there could be 7 possibilities all equally likely. These are:
Monday, Tuesday
Tuesday, Wednesday
Wednesday, Thursday
Thursday, Friday
Friday, Saturday
Saturday, Sunday
Sunday, Monday
There are 2 cases out of the 7 cases above such that there is an extra friday.
Therefore the required probability here is 2 / 7
