Detailed Solution

1 year = 365 days
A year has 52 weeks. Hence there will be 52 Tuesdays for sure.
52 weeks = 52×7= 364 days
365−364= 2 days
In an ordinary year, there will be 52 Tuesdays and 1 day will be left.
This 1 day can be:
Sunday
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Of these total 7 outcomes, the favorable outcomes are 1.
Hence the probability of getting 53 Tuesdays in an ordinary year is = 17​.
Hence 2 is the correct option.
