Correct Answer - ` 2/7`
A leap year has 366 days=52 weeks and 2 days.
Now, 52 weeks contain 52 Sundays.
The remaining 2 days can be:
(i) Sunday and Monday (ii) Monday and Tuesday
(iii) Tuesday and Wednesday (iv) Wednesday and Thursday
(v) Thursday and Sunday (vi) Friday and Saturday
(vii) Saturday and Sunday
Out of these 7 cases, their are 2 cases favouring it to be Sunday.
` :. ` P( a leap year having 53 Sundays ) =` 2/7`.
