- B.Kolusu Parthasarathy
- C.S. Abdul Nazeer
- D.M. K. Ramesh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is S. Abdul Nazeer, the Governor of Andhra Pradesh, who is the Chancellor of the university and attended the Ruby Jubilee celebrations. Option A is wrong because P. Chandrasekhar is the Vice-Chancellor, the academic and executive head, not the Chancellor. Option B is wrong because Kolusu Parthasarathy is the state's Minister for Housing, Information and Public Relations and was present as a guest. Option D is wrong because M. K. Ramesh heads the Medical Assessment and Rating Board of the National Medical Commission and attended in that capacity. In most states the Governor is the Chancellor of state universities, which is the general rule this question tests; the Governor, along with state minister Nara Lokesh, also received the Vice-President at Vijayawada airport.
