How many times does the 29th day of the month occur in 400 consecutive years?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
In 400 consecutive years there are 97 leap years. Hence, in 400 consecutive years February has the 29th day 97 times and the remaining eleven months have the 29th day 400 × 11 or 4400 times.
Thus the 29th day of the month occurs
= 4400 + 97
= 4497 times.
Thus the 29th day of the month occurs
= 4400 + 97
= 4497 times.

LoginSo 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 !!!
