How many days do we have on a leap year?
A
364
B
366
C
365
D
365 1/4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In an ordinary year, if you were to count all the days in a calendar from January to December, you’d count 365 days. But approximately every four years, February has 29 days instead of 28. So, there are 366 days in the year. This is called a leap year.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the Gregorian calendar, each leap year has 366 days instead of 365.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, in the Gregorian calendar, each leap year has 366 days instead of 365, by extending February to 29 days rather than the common 28. This extra leap day occurs in each year that is an integer multiple of 4 (except for years evenly divisible by 100, but not by 400).
