First statement: the year 2004 is a leap year.
So February 29 days.
Second statement: birthday date was prime no so the date is among;
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.
By combining these two statements we get.
The only even number in the above prime numbers is #2.
So the answer is E.

How can you justify that's even prime?
In the first statement, it was given that on EVEN DATE only.
In the second statement, it was given that PRIME only.
From 1 to 28 we have more even numbers. likewise, we have prime numbers from 1 to 28.
Please, explain the answer.
