There would be 24*60*365 = 525600 minutes in a year.
Explanation: We know that 365 days in a year usually (366 days in a leap year which falls after every four years). There are 24 hours in a day and 60 minutes in an hour. So, our answer would be 24*60*365. It seems a straightforward question, but it has also been asked in the UPSC interview.
