The probability that a leap year selected at random contains either 53 Sundays or 53 Mondays, is:
Total number of days in a leap year = 366
It will contain 52 weeks and 2days
These two days can be (Sunday, Monday); (Monday, Tuesday); (Tuesday, Wednesday); (Wednesday, Thursday); (Thursday, Friday); (Friday, Saturday); (Saturday, Sunday)
For 53 Sundays, probability = $$\ \ \frac{2}{7}$$
Similarly for 53 Mondays, probability =$$\ \ \frac{2}{7}$$
This includes one way where Sunday and Monday occur simultaneously (i.e) Sunday, Monday
Probability for this =$$\ \ \frac{1}{7}$$
Hence required probability = $$\ \ \frac{2}{7}$$ +$$\ \ \frac{2}{7}$$-$$\ \ \frac{1}{7}$$
=$$\ \ \frac{3}{7}$$
C is the correct answer.
