Answer 1

Answer: (C)

He was not eligible to vote for any election upto 1982.

The voting age in India before 1988 (61st Constitutional Amendment Act) was 21 years. It was however reduced to 18 years in 1988. Hence Mr. Rajeev being less than 21 years of age was not eligible to vote in any election up to 1982.
