How many participants took part in the 'Nasha Mukt Yuva Deepotsav - Ek Diya Sankalp Ka' leg of the campaign?

  1. A.9,526
  2. B.55,430
  3. C.1,10,101
  4. D.2,45,600

Correct answer

C. 1,10,101

Explanation

The correct answer is 1,10,101. The Deepotsav leg of the drive was the bigger of the two, with 435 programmes and 568 activities, and it accounted for 1,10,101 of the participants. Option A, 9,526, is incorrect because that figure belongs to the other leg, the Nasha Mukt Yuva Par Paricharcha held through Neighbourhood Youth Parliaments, which recorded 85 programmes and 298 activities. Option B, 55,430, is wrong, as no such count was reported for either leg of the week. Option D, 2,45,600, is also incorrect; it runs well past the combined reach of the week, which was put at over 1.19 lakh youth and citizens taken together. The safest way to revise this is to keep the two figures apart, 1,10,101 for the lamp-lighting activity and 9,526 for the discussions, and remember that they add up to the figure of over 1.19 lakh.
