 Leap year calendar repeats every 28 years. 

Here 28 is distributed as 6 + 11 + 11.

  

Rules:

a) If given year is at 1st position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 6.

 b) If given year is at 2nd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11.

 c) If given year is at 3rd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11

 

Now, the given year is 2018

We know that 2016 is a Leap year.

2016  2017  2018  2019  2020

 LY    1st     2nd    3rd    LY

A) 3.6 B) 4.6

A) 1/2 B) 5/12
C) 7/15 D) 3/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5/12

Explanation:

Here n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36

Let E = event of getting a total more than 7
        = {(2,6),(3,5),(3,6),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}

Therefore,P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 15/36 = 5/12.
