Maximum number of Thursdays in a leap year will :

Correct option is C

Given:

A leap year has 366 days, which means 52 weeks and 2 extra days.

• A normal year has 52 full weeks (364 days) and 1 extra day.
• In a leap year, the extra days are 2 consecutive days (e.g., Monday and Tuesday, or Thursday and Friday).

Solution:

1. How many Thursdays in a regular 52-week cycle?
• Each week has exactly one Thursday, so in 52 weeks, there are 52 Thursdays.
2. What about the extra 2 days?
• The two extra days can be any two consecutive days (e.g., Thursday and Friday, or Friday and Saturday, etc.).
• If one of the extra days is Thursday, the total number of Thursdays becomes 53.
• If neither of the extra days is a Thursday, the total remains 52.

Maximum Case:

If one of the extra days in the leap year is a Thursday, there will be 53 Thursdays.

Final Answer:

The maximum number of Thursdays in a leap year is 53.
