The year 2026 marked which birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel?

  1. A.148th
  2. B.150th
  3. C.151st
  4. D.152nd

Correct answer

C. 151st

Explanation

The correct answer is the 151st birth anniversary. The President paid floral tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his 151st birth anniversary at Rashtrapati Bhavan on 31 October 2026, so that is the number attached to this year's observance. Options A, B and D give neighbouring numbers of the kind a paper setter places beside the right one, and they are the easiest way to lose a mark on a question that is otherwise simple. The anniversary immediately before this one was the 150th, a round number that is often remembered better than the year it actually fell in, which is exactly why the trap works. Candidates preparing a list of days should write the edition number against the year, not against the day alone, because every anniversary moves up by one each year while the date of observance stays fixed at 31 October.
