Solution
Here on seeing the sequence, we can figure out that the days in a month are given.
The first term is for 31 days in January, the second term is for 28 days in February assuming that it is not a leap year, the third term is for 31 days in March, similarly, 4th term is for 30 days in April.
Hence the next term would be 31, for the number of days in May.
The number of days in each month is given as follows:
January-31
February-28(if not a leap year), 29(if a leap year)
March-31
April-30
May-31
June-30
July-31
August-31
September-30
October-31
November-30
