- B.Rs 8,941 crore
- C.Rs 11,941 crore
- D.Rs 2,941 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rs 8,941 crore. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah attended the ceremony at which 10 Yamuna rejuvenation projects were inaugurated and foundation stones were laid for 33 more, and the schemes together carry this total cost. Options A, C and D change only the leading digits of the same figure, which is the standard way a numerical question is made difficult, so the full number has to be learnt rather than approximated. Through these schemes several lakh litres of water will be purified before entering the river, and the works cover the upgradation of existing sewage treatment plants, new plants, a decentralised pumping station and the connection of sewer lines to households. The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta were present at the ceremony.
