Answer 2

${\huge{\sf{\bold{\boxed{\color{Pink}{Answer}}}}}}$

Correct option: (A)

A non-leap year has 365 days.

365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day

Since 52 weeks = 52 x 7 = 364 days

Hence there will be 52 Sundays in a year.

This 1 day can be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Out of these total 7 outcomes, the number of favourable outcomes is 1.

Hence, the probability of getting 53 Sundays = 1 / 7
