Detailed Solution

For an event A , probability of an event P(A) is
P(A)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes
In a non-leap year, there are 365 days, which means, 52 weeks and 1 day.
That one day is any day of the week.
But it is possible to get any one day as monday.
n(A) = 1.
Then P(A) = 17
 Therefore, the probability of a non-leap year having 53 Mondays is 17.
The probability of a non-leap year having 53 Mondays is 17.
Hence, option 1 is correct and the statement is true.
