      A Only A-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      D A-C and B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No exchange required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      C is incorrect at its place. Striving statistical justification is incorrect. Instead, the correct word here should be ‘establish’. So, B-C need to be interchanged. A and D are correct. The idea of a national caste census might be abhorrent when the stated policy is to strive for a casteless society, but it will be useful to establish statistical justification for preserving caste-based affirmative action programmes.
