How many meritorious students and alumni took part in the programme at Rashtrapati Bhavan?
- A.46
- B.106
- C.146
- D.246
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 146. That many meritorious students and alumni of the Eklavya Model Residential Schools, drawn from across the country, joined the interaction, and the group included toppers of Class X and Class XII along with students who had won admission to the IITs, the NITs, National Law Universities, the fashion technology institute and government medical colleges. Options A, B and D are wrong because none of them is the participation figure reported for the programme; each is near enough to the correct number to catch a hurried reader, which is precisely why such distractors are used. Alongside the count, remember what else happened at the event: the President felicitated the tribal welfare secretaries of Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha, five District Magistrates and the principals of five best-performing schools, and awards went to the best-performing tribal startups.
