Step-by-Step Solution

2027 has 365 days and starts on a Friday, so only Friday occurs 53 times: there are 52 Sundays. 26 January 2027 is a Tuesday and 2 October 2027 a Saturday (both lost), but 15 August 2027 is a Sunday, already a no-paper day. Issues = 365 − 52 − 2 = 311. (310 counts 15 August twice; 312 forgets one holiday.)
Answer: C) 311
