Detailed Solution

Given that, a non-leap year.
We have to find the probability of non-leap year to have 53 Sundays.
A non-leap year has 365 days.
Obtain the number of weeks in a leap year. So,
365 7 =52 1 7
Numbers of days left is 1 .
This day may be any day of the 7 days of the week, that is,
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Let A be the event non-leap year is selected at random will contain 53 Sundays, then the probability of the event can be calculated by,
P(A)= Number of favourable outcomes Total number of outcomes
= 1 7
The probability is 1 7 .
Hence, option 1) is correct.
