All answers are leap years.

Dates before 1582-10-15 belong to the Julian calendar.
There the leap years are year decided by 4.
So, answers A to C is leap years.

If the year is century years like 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. 1600, 2000 then we should divide them by 400 (not 4) through we can get Leap year. Thanks.

=> Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year, if it is not a century.

=> Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century is a leap year.

You are right @Nishant.

500 is not leap year because it is not divisible by 400.

2016 is leap year. Because it is divisible by 4.

The years which are divisible by both 100 and 4 but not divisible by 400 are not leap year.

Hence 1700, 1300 are not leap year.

Only century years should be divided by 400 and non century years should by divided by 4.

Hence 700 is an ordinary year.

No no @Saurabh you are wrong. Why because 2004 is a leap year? But it doesn't divided by 400.

So don't go in that way.

As 700 is not multiple of 400, 700 is not leap year.

The leap years are 400,800,1200,1600,2000...........like dis.

700 is not leap year because 700 is divisible by 4 but 4 is not divisible by 2 that's why its no.
