How many long-pending pension grievances were redressed under Special Campaign 3?

  1. A.1,062
  2. B.2,131
  3. C.2,306
  4. D.3,193

Correct answer

C. 2,306

Explanation

The correct answer is 2,306. The release states that the coordinated efforts of forty ministries and departments culminated in the successful resolution of this many cases, and that the redressal rate works out to seventy-two per cent. Every wrong option here is a genuine figure from the same release, which is what makes this question a good test of careful reading. Option A is the count of target cases identified by ministries and departments during the preparatory phase. Option B is the count of grievance cases that had been pending on the CPENGRAMS portal for more than one month and were taken up in the same phase. Option D is the total number of cases taken up, and the correct answer is the part of that total which was actually resolved. The cleanest way to hold this is as a fraction with a percentage attached: cases resolved out of cases taken up, giving seventy-two per cent. Active follow-up continues on the rest.
