29th February 2000 was a Tuesday. In this century, how many times 29th February will fall on a Tuesday

There are 1,461 (365x4+1) days between one February 29 (leap day) to the next.

1461 is 208 weeks with a 5 day remainder, so each leap day will fall five days after the previous one.

Since 5 is not a factor of seven (number of days in the week),

it will take 7 leap years 28 years for there to be a repeat in the day of the week.

So 2028, 2056, and 2084 will have a leap day on Tuesday.

Since the century began in 2001 and not 2000, the answer is 3.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
