Answer: Feb 1 is Monday in a leap year, so Feb 2 is Tuesday. Answer: A.
Determine the minimum length of February: A 28-day February has exactly 4 occurrences of each weekday. For 5 Mondays, February must have 29 days (leap year). With 29 days: the three extra days (beyond 28 = 4 weeks) must include Monday. So Feb 1 must be Monday.
Identify Feb 2's weekday: Feb 1 = Monday => Feb 2 = Tuesday. Statement A says '2nd February is a Tuesday' — this is true.
Check other options: B: Sundays fall on 7,14,21,28 — only 4 Sundays. False. C: Feb 1 is Monday, not Sunday. False. D: Monday dates are 1,8,15,22,29 — includes 1 and 15, which are odd. False.
