Q. How many Sundays will be in a period of 100 years.
✅ Correct Answer: (C)
5217 or 5218
Explanation: In a period of 100 years there are 23 or 24 leap years (as for century year it might be or might not be a leap year, as 1900 was not a leap year)
Number of days in a period of 100 years is 365 x 100 + 23 or 365 x 100 + 24.
If century year is not a leap year then number of days = 365 x 100 + 23, and number of weeks is 5217 and 4 odd and for leap year it will be 5217 weeks and 5 odd days, hence number of Sundays is either 5217 or 5218.
