Detailed Solution

A leap-year has 366 days i.e., 52 complete. week and two days more. These two days will be two consecutive days of a week. A leap-year will have 53 Sundays, if out of the two consecutive days of a week selected at random one is a Sunday.

 Let be the sample space and E be the event that out of the two consecutive days of 

a week one is Sunday, then 

S = {(Sunday, Monday), (Monday, Tuesday), (Tuesday, Wednesday), (Wednesday. Thursday), (Thursday, Friday), (Friday   Saturday), (Saturday, Sunday)}; n(S) =7 and E = {(Sunday, Monday), (Friday, Saturday)} 

 n(E)=2

Now, required probability P(E)=n(E)n(S)=27
