Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 61,888 square feet, freed through the disposal activities and cleanliness campaigns taken up during Special Campaign 6 and reported in the mid-campaign figures. Options C and D offer nearby numbers to check whether the figure has actually been memorised; neither appears in the report. Option A, 35,000 square feet, belongs to another ministry's account of the same campaign and is the sort of cross-ministry mix-up that examiners enjoy setting. Along with the space, the department reported revenue of Rs 8,25,696 from the disposal of scrap. Candidates should also keep in mind the file figures: of 7,000 physical files due for review, 6,280 were reviewed and 2,598 weeded out, while of 1,900 electronic files put up for review, 1,791 were reviewed and 949 closed.
