A non-leap year has 365 days

A year has 52 weeks. Hence there will be 52 Sundays.

52 weeks = 52 x 7 = 364 days .

365– 364 = 1day extra.

In a non-leap year there will be 52 Sundays and 1day will be left.

This 1 day can be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,friday,Saturday, Sunday.

Of these total 7 outcomes, the favourable outcomes are 1.

Hence the probability of getting 53 Sundays = 1 / 7.
