This question I came across when I was watching the episode of Koun Banega Karodpati program.
I asked the question to my nephew Aniruddha.
Question
If you add 12 months, 52 weeks and 365 days, how many years you will get ??
When I asked this question to my nephew Aniruddha, he fell silent.
I thought he might not have understood the question.
I repeated the same thing.
But Aniruddha just kept staring at me without saying anything.
Finally, I said the answer
It is 3 years !!!!
12 months = 1 year
52 weeks = one more year
365 days = one more year extra !!!
When we add all the above, we are adding 3 years.
Answer is 3 years !!!
Now Aniruddha started to talk
The calculation of weeks is wrong !!!!
In a year, we have 52. 143 weeks.
Not exactly 52 weeks.
I was thinking about that itself.
Every year don't have 365 days.
Leap year has one more extra day !!!!
We must think of all the possibilities.
It is not right to say exactly 3 years.
It is more than that !!!!
I realised I had done a great mistake by asking this question to Aniruddha !!!
