    AR GATE 2019: Ques. 55: Matching scientific names of trees to corresponding colours Cassia Fistula, Lagerstroemia flos-reginae, etc.
    Option (A) is P – 4 Q – 5 R – 4 S-1 and
    Option (D) which is supposed to be the correct answer is P – 4 Q – 5 R – 2 S – 1.
    Since there is repetition in the option does this question not stand invalid?
    Shouldn’t they give marks to all those who have attempted it?
