Andaman & Nicobar Islands: 8,249 sq km (largest among the options)

Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu: 603 sq km

Puducherry: 479 sq km

Lakshadweep: 32 sq km (smallest among the options)

2)   Three persons A, B and C were engaged to complete a job. They completed it in 5 days and the remuneration paid for the entire job was Rs. 70000. B has only half the efficiency of A and C has only half the efficiency of B. If the amount is distributed equally per day on the basis of their efficiency, what is the amount received by each per day?

A) Rs. 7000, 3500, 1750

B) Rs. 7500, 3750, 2250

C) Rs. 8000, 4000, 2000

D) Rs. 8000, 3500, 2500

Assign A's efficiency as 4 units, B as 2 units (half of A), and C as 1 unit (half of B), giving a ratio of 4:2:1.

Per day, the total remuneration is Rs. 70000 / 5 = Rs. 14000.

Dividing Rs. 14000 in the ratio 4:2:1:

Total parts = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7; 14000 / 7 = 2000 per part.

A gets 4 × 2000 = Rs. 8000 per day,

B gets 2 × 2000 = Rs. 4000 per day,

C gets 1 × 2000 = Rs. 2000 per day.

Ans)   C) Rs. 8000, 4000, 2000.
