How many actions in total does the revised Graded Response Action Plan schedule approved by CAQM contain?

  1. A.36
  2. B.42
  3. C.48
  4. D.54

Correct answer

C. 48

Explanation

The correct answer is 48. The revised GRAP schedule cleared by the Commission for Air Quality Management carries 25 actions in Stage-I, 8 actions in Stage-II, 10 actions in Stage-III and 5 actions in Stage-IV, which adds up to 48 actions in all. The reduction in repetition came from merging duplicated instructions on dust control, municipal solid waste handling and transport within Stage-I. Options A, B and D give totals that do not match the stage-wise break-up: adding the four stage figures cannot yield 36, 42 or 54, so each of them is wrong. Candidates should memorise both the total and the stage-wise split, because a paper setter may ask for either the aggregate number of actions or the count in a single stage.
