easy Q11 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Find the total span
From 1 Jan 2023 to 1 Jan 2024 the difference (end − start) is 365 days because 2023 is not a leap year.Step 2: Convert to strictly-between (exclusive) count
Exclusive of both start and end means we count only the days strictly between them: (end − start) − 1 = 365 − 1 = 364 days.Final Answer:
364 → Option AQuick Check:
One full year = 365 days; removing both endpoints leaves 364 days strictly between the two dates ✅
Quick Trick: For exclusive ranges one year apart, strictly-between days = (365 or 366) − 1.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Incorrectly adding or subtracting 2 instead of using the strictly-between formula.
