Answering Vani's Question
So we have to calculate Leap year in 400 consecutive years
In first 100 year we see 24 leap years, because 100/4 = 25 and as 100 is not leap year so 25-1 = 24
Same for 200 and 300, which will be 24 & 24 leap years because 200 and 300 are also not leap years.
At last as 400 is a leap year so will say 24+24+24+25 = 97, Which is the correct Ans
Thankyou !!!
All the best for preparation - MiKU
