- ✓$\frac{5}{7}$
- B$\frac{6}{7}$
- C$\frac{2}{7}$
- D$\frac{4}{7}$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{5}{7}$
(a) $\frac{5}{7}$
Explanation : No. of days in a leap year $=366$
No. of Mondays $=52$
Extra days $=366-52 \times 7$
$=366-364=2$
$\therefore$ Remaining days in the week $=7-2=5$
$\therefore$ Probability of being 52 Mondays in the leap year $=\frac{5}{7}$
