What were the cumulative sales recorded at Shilp Samagam Mela 2026 between 1 and 9 November 2026?
- A.About Rs 64.52 lakh
- B.About Rs 46.25 lakh
- C.About Rs 64.52 crore
- D.About Rs 13.75 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is about Rs 64.52 lakh. That is the combined figure reported for the four participating corporations over the window from the first to the ninth of November, and the Ministry presents it as a sign of the market response to products made by beneficiary communities. Option B is wrong because it merely reverses the digits of the real figure, a common trap in numerical questions. Option C is wrong because it inflates the amount a hundredfold; a fair with a little over a hundred and thirty stalls running for a fortnight would not turn over such a sum. Option D is wrong because no figure of that order appears anywhere in the announcement. Remember the unit as carefully as the digits: the sales are in lakh, not crore.
