How many cleanliness target units were transformed by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas under the Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 campaign?
- A.8,845
- B.9,548
- C.9,845
- D.10,845
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 9,845. Under the first pillar of the Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 campaign, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and its organisations transformed 9,845 cleanliness target units, and 99,548 people took part in that effort. Alongside it, 937 public spaces were cleaned with 45,526 participants, 143 cleanliness drives were held at water bodies with 1,264 individuals, and 543 mohalla cleanliness drives were organised. Option A, 8,845, and option D, 10,845, are wrong because they change only the leading digit of the real figure, which is the standard way such distractors are built. Option B, 9,548, is the most tempting of the wrong choices, because it rearranges the digits of the correct number and also echoes the participation figure of 99,548; candidates who memorise only the digits and not the context tend to fall for it. Keep the pair together: 9,845 target units and 937 public spaces.
