Answer
In a non-leap year (an ordinary year), there are 365 days.
365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day
This 1 extra day can be any of the following 7 possibilities: {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday}
Total number of possible outcomes = 7
Number of favourable outcomes (The extra day being a Monday) = 1 (i.e., {Monday}).
Let E be the event that a non-leap year has 53 Mondays,
∴ P(E) =
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
