Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 1,07,494 participations, recorded across the 153 institutions where the programme was held. The other three options are all genuine figures from the same programme, which is what makes this question a test of careful reading rather than of memory alone. Option A, 41,600, is the number of participants engaged by the Deepotsav and the Sneh Milan gatherings taken together. Option C, 24,100, is the number engaged by the cultural programmes, that is the street plays in regional languages, the rangoli activity and the Nasha Mukt songs. Option D, 16,700, is the number of volunteers who went out under the Seva vertical to old-age homes, orphanages, hospitals and slum areas. Only the overall participation figure answers the question as framed.
