      A Two Deputy Governors Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Three Deputy Governors Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Five Deputy Governors Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Four Deputy Governors Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Six Deputy Governors Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 8(1)(a) provides that the Central Board shall consist of a Governor and not more than four Deputy Governors to be appointed by the Central Government. The figure 'four' was substituted for 'three' by Act 18 of 1964 with effect from 1-7-1964. Besides this, the Board includes four Directors nominated from the four Local Boards, ten other nominated Directors and one Government official. Therefore the correct maximum number of Deputy Governors is four.
