Choose the address that is exactly the same as the one given below. A-5, Lotus Enclave, Patliputra Colony, Patna, Bihar – 800013

Correct — B.
Rule: compare each part of the copy with the original, letter by letter and mark by mark.

House number: A-5. Option (c) drops the hyphen and reads A5.
Locality: Patliputra Colony. Option (d) reads Colonny.
State: Bihar. Option (a) reads Biharr.

Option (b) matches every part → option (b).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  A-5, Lotus Enclave, Patliputra Colony, Patna, Biharr – 800013 — Biharr adds a second r to Bihar. Every other part matches, so only a letter-by-letter check of the state name catches it.
• (c)
  A5, Lotus Enclave, Patliputra Colony, Patna, Bihar – 800013 — A5 drops the hyphen of A-5. The letters and digits are the same, but a copy that loses a mark is not exact.
• (d)
  A-5, Lotus Enclave, Patliputra Colonny, Patna, Bihar – 800013 — Colonny doubles the n of Colony. The word still reads as Colony at a glance, which is why it has to be checked letter by letter.

Address matching is a proof-reading task. The eye reads Biharr as Bihar because it reads for meaning, so read for spelling instead.

Split the original at its commas: A-5, Lotus Enclave, Patliputra Colony, Patna, Bihar and 800013. Check each part against the same part of every option, and drop an option at its first mismatch.

Key facts

• Punctuation counts: A5 and A-5 are different text.
• A part that matches in all four options cannot decide the answer.
• A doubled letter, as in Colonny, leaves the word readable, which is why it slips past a quick read.

Common traps

• Passing Colonny or Biharr because the word still makes sense
• Treating A5 and A-5 as the same because only a hyphen differs
