  1. A.About 25,000 square feet, to the National Archives
  2. B.About 35,000 square feet, to Project Yuga Yugeen Bharat Museum
  3. C.About 45,000 square feet, to the National War Memorial
  4. D.About 35,000 square feet, to the National Museum of Natural History

Correct answer

B. About 35,000 square feet, to Project Yuga Yugeen Bharat Museum

Explanation

The correct answer is about 35,000 square feet, surrendered to Project Yuga Yugeen Bharat Museum. The space was cleared through cleaning and the disposal of old records in South Block, and handed over to that museum project. Option A gets both parts wrong, naming a smaller area and a different institution. Option C changes the figure and sends the space to the National War Memorial, which is a memorial in New Delhi and not the recipient here. Option D is the trickiest, because it carries the right area but the wrong recipient, and in a question of this pattern a candidate who checks only the number will fall for it. Along with the space, the ministry closed 1,361 electronic files, weeded out 1,746 physical files and earned Rs 4.22 lakh from disposing of electronic waste and obsolete items.
