Answer
In a leap year, there are 366 days.
366 days = 52 weeks + 2 days
These 2 days can be (Mon, Tue), (Tue, Wed), (Wed, Thu), (Thu, Fri), (Fri, Sat), (Sat, Sun), and (Sun, Mon).
Total number of possible outcomes = 7
Number of favourable outcomes (Getting Sunday as one of the extra days) = 2 (i.e., (Sat, Sun), (Sun, Mon)).
P(Getting Sunday as one of the extra days) =
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
In a non - leap year, there are 365 days.
365 days = 52 weeks + 1 days
These 1 days can be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Total number of possible outcomes = 7
Number of favourable outcomes (Getting Sunday as one of the extra days) = 1
P(Getting Sunday as one of the extra days) =
∴ Reason (R) is false.
∴ Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
