Question 50

Ashok said that he was born on 29 February 1900. What birthday did he celebrate in the year 2000?

Solution

In order for a year to qualify as a leap year, it must be divisible by 4. If it is a centurial year, it must also be divisible by 400.

Since 1900 is a century year so it must be divisible by 400, but it is not divisible by 400. 

Therefore, Ashok is lying that he was born on 29 February 1900 as it is not a leap year.

The answer is option B.
