All people with incomes above Rs 10 lakh should fill up Form R, except non residents with income above Rs 15 lakhs, who should fill up Form S. All others should fill Form T. An example of a person who should fill Form T is

Correct answer (B) a resident female with annual income Rs 9 lakh Solution Let's analyze the conditions for each form: 1. Form P : Resident males with annual income < Rs 10 lakh. 2. Form Q : Resident females with annual income < Rs 8 lakh. 3. Form R : All people with income > Rs 10 lakh, except non-residents with income > Rs 15 lakh. 4. Form S : Non-residents with income > Rs 15 lakh. 5. Form T : All others. Now, let's evaluate the options: (A) A resident male with annual income Rs 9 lakh: This fits the criteria for Form P (Resident male, income < 10L). (B) A resident female with annual income Rs 9 lakh: Not Form Q (Income 9L is not < 8L). Not Form R (Income 9L is not > 10L). Not Form S (Income 9L is not > 15L). Therefore, this person falls into the "All others" category and must fill Form T . (C) A non-resident male with annual income Rs 16 lakh: This fits the criteria for Form S (Non-resident, income > 15L). (D) A non-resident female with annual income Rs 16 lakh: This fits the criteria for Form S (Non-resident, income > 15L). Thus, the correct example for Form T is option (B). Turn this into a strength.
