Given: Suresh submits a leave of absence for the time period 21st March to 14th April.

Company does not count Saturdays and Sundays as leave. 27th March was a Sunday.

Now,

The total period from 21st March to 14th April is 25 days.

We need to exclude Saturdays and Sundays in this period.

Saturdays: 26th March, 2nd April, 9th April = 3 Saturdays

Sundays: 27th March, 3rd April, 10th April = 3 Sundays

Total Saturdays and Sundays = 3 + 3 = 6 days

Therefore, the effective number of leave days = 25 - 6 = 19 days.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
