    Answer: (C)
    Explanation: With 366 days, the
    number of weeks in a year is
    366/7 = 52 (2/7)
    i.e., 52 complete weeks which
    contains 52 Mondays,
    Now 2 days of the year are
    remaining.
    These two days can be
    (Sunday, Monday), (Monday,
    Tuesday), (Tuesday, Wednesday),
    (Wednesday, Thursday),
    (Thursday, Friday), (Friday,
    Saturday), (Saturday, Sunday)
    i.e., there are 7 pairs, in which
    Monday occurs in 2 pairs,
    So probability is:
    P (53 Monday) = 2/7
