The maximum gap between two successive leap year is?
(A) 4
(B) 8
(C) 2
(D) 1
Solution:
This can be illustrated with an example. Ex: 1896 is a leap year.The next leap year comes in 1904 (1900 is not a leap year). Explanation : The length of the solar year, however, is slightly less than 365$$\frac{1}{4}$$ days-by about 11 minutes. To compensate for this discrepancy, the leap year is omitted three times every four hundred years. In other words, a century year cannot be a leap year unless it is divisible by 400. Thus 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but 1600, 2000, and 2400 are leap years.
