Maximum sum of the number of saturdays and sundays in a leap year

32.8k Views Asked by At

Question is to find maximum sum of the number of Saturdays and Sundays in a leap year...

I do not have much to show off but I guess in a leap year there would be maximum of $53$ Saturdays/$53$ Sundays but i am not sure if it is possible to have $53$ Saturday and $53$ Saturdays..

So, I guess maximum sum would be $105$.

Could some one tell me if this is correct

I would like to learn something more of this kind and i would be so thankful if some one wants to say something more than this.

On a leap year, there can be 53 of each. Imagine the year starts on a Saturday. if there were only 52 Sundays, then that would mean that there are 365 days (53 Saturdays, 52 of everything else).

1972 is an example of such a year.

A regular year has exactly $52$ full weeks, and $1$ day. A leap year has $52$ full weeks, and $2$ days. Were such a year to start on a Saturday, then it would have exactly $53$ full weekends.

answer is $106$ ($52\times7=364$, $2$ days would be sat and sun) i.e. $52+52+2=106$
