Solution

The correct option is C Mr Raju was only 25 years old.
Elections can take place in two ways: direct elections and indirect elections. MLAs, panchayat members are all directly elected by the people. The Rajya Sabha members are indirectly elected. To contest in the Rajya Sabha elections, one must be at least 30 years of age. The president and vice president are also elected indirectly and must be a minimum of 35 years.
