The probability of a non-leap year having 53 Mondays is .........
  1. $\frac{2}{7}$
  2. $\frac{1}{7}$
  3. $\frac{5}{7}$
  4. $\frac{6}{7}$

Solution

Number of days in non Leap year $=365$ $ \begin{aligned} & =52 \times 7+1 \\ & =52 \text { weeks }+1 \text { day } \end{aligned} $ The one additional day may be any one of the day $ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad n(A) & =1 \\ n(s) & =7 \\ \mathrm{P}(\text { Getting } 53 \text { sundays }) & =\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{7} \end{aligned} $ Hence, option (2) is correct
