Solution

The correct option is A 42
Vardhaman Mahavira left his home in pursuit of spiritual awakening and adopted ascetic life at the age of 30. He wandered for about 12 years and practiced severe austerities and eventually attained kevalajnana (enlightenment) at the age of 42 outside the town of Jrimbhikagrama on the banks of Rijupalika river.
