How many individuals took part in the cleaning of 59 public spaces under the campaign?

  1. A.2,498
  2. B.5,498
  3. C.8,723
  4. D.10,723

Correct answer

B. 5,498

Explanation

The correct answer is 5,498. The Ministry of Mines reported that 59 public spaces were cleaned under the campaign with this many individuals taking part in the effort. Option A is wrong because that number does not appear in the report at all. Option C is wrong for the same reason. Option D is a careful distractor: 10,723 is a real figure from the same report, but it is the number of participants in the transformation of 136 Cleanliness Target Units, not in the cleaning of public spaces. Mixing the two is the commonest error in questions of this type. Besides these drives, the field offices of the ministry cleaned lakes and water bodies, undertook shramdaan, and held essay-writing and waste-to-art competitions in schools.
