- A.9,196
- B.11,969
- C.13,114
- D.21,120
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 11,969. The Ministry of Culture reported that this many devotees reached the Thubchog Gatsel Ling Monastery, or Lower Gompa, at Bomdila in Arunachal Pradesh during the opening two days of the exposition of the Holy Relics of Shakyamuni Buddha, offering prayers and seeking blessings in the presence of the Relics. Option A, 9,196, simply reverses the digits of the real figure and is a trap for candidates who memorise the shape of a number rather than the number itself. Option C, 13,114, is not a turnout figure at all; the only 13 in the announcement is the date on which public Darshan at Bomdila closes, that is 13 November 2026. Option D, 21,120, likewise borrows from a date rather than a count, since the Relics are due back at the National Museum in New Delhi on 21 November 2026. Only option B matches the attendance actually recorded for the first two days.
