As your answer,
Type 1, if I > II.
Type 2, if I < II.
Type 3, if I = II.
Type 4, if nothing can be said.

I. The probability of encountering 54 Sundays in a leap year.
II. The probability of encountering 53 Sundays in a non-leap year.

Answer & solution

53 Sundays can occur in a non-leap year, if 1st January is either a Saturday or a Sunday. But 54 Sundays can never occur.
Hence, I < II.
