Divey Sethi answered
1. Dr. Rajendra Prasad - First President of India: Correctly matched. Dr. Rajendra Prasad was indeed the first President of India. He served as the President from 1950 to 1962.
2. Constituent Assembly - Formed in December 1946: Correctly matched. The Constituent Assembly of India was indeed formed in December 1946. It was tasked with drafting the Constitution of India.
3. Adoption of Indian Constitution - 26th January 1950: Incorrectly matched. The Indian Constitution was adopted on 26th November 1949, but it came into force on 26th January 1950. The adoption date is not the same as the date it came into force.
4. Right to Equality - Prevents discrimination based on religion, race, caste, gender, and place of birth: Correctly matched. The Right to Equality is one of the Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution, and it does prevent discrimination on these grounds.
Therefore, three pairs are correctly matched: 1, 2, and 4.

Given Information:
- Number of persons on the right of Roop = Number of persons on the left of Gaur
- Gaur sits on the left of Roop
- Deep sits exactly in the middle of Roop and Gaur
- Number of persons between Deep and Roop were twice the number of persons on the right of Roop
- Roop is 58th from the left end

Solution:

Step 1: Find t
... more
As Roop is 58th from the left end, the number of persons on the right of Roop = 58 - 1 = 57

Step 2: Find the number of persons on the left of Roop
Since the number of persons on the right of Roop is the same as the number of persons on the left of Gaur, the total number of persons on the left of Roop = 57

Step 3: Find the total number of persons
As Gaur sits on the left of Roop, the total number of persons = Number of persons on the left of Roop + Number of persons on the right of Roop + Roop
Total number of persons = 57 + 57 + 1 = 115

Step 4: Find the position of Deep
Deep sits exactly in the middle of Roop and Gaur, so Deep is at the 57th position from the left end.

Step 5: Find the number of persons between Deep and Roop
Number of persons between Deep and Roop = Twice the number of persons on the right of Roop = 2 * 57 = 114

Step 6: Calculate the number of persons in the row
The total number of persons in the row = Number of persons between Deep and Roop + Deep + Roop
Total number of persons = 114 + 1 + 1 = 116

Therefore, the total number of persons in the row is 116, which is not listed as an option. Since the number of persons in the row cannot be determined from the information given, the correct answer is option e) Can't be determined.
