Q1. What is the percentage of reservation for women under the MNREGA Act, 2005? (Choose the most appropriate option from below.)
A 40%
B 20%
C 25%
D 33% Correct
Explanation
Under the MNREGA Act, 2005, at least one-third of the beneficiaries must be women who have registered and requested work. One-third is commonly represented as 33% in examination options, so 33% is the appropriate answer. The figures 40%, 20%, and 25% do not match the statutory minimum share for women under the Act. They may look like plausible welfare-scheme percentages, but MNREGA specifically fixes the minimum women's participation at one-third.
