Consider the following statements about elephants :
A. Elephants live in herds.
B. A herd may have 20 to 25 female elephants and their young ones.
C. Male elephants live in the herd till they are 9-10 years.
D. The oldest female takes all the decisions of the herd.
The correct statements are
Answer: C
The correct statements are A and D.
Elephants live in herds (A), and a herd is led by the oldest female, who takes its decisions (D).
Statements B and C give the wrong figures. The EVS account on which this question is based describes a herd of about 10 to 12 female elephants and their young, not 20 to 25, and says that males stay in the herd until they are about 14 to 15 years old, not 9 to 10, after which they leave. So the options including B or C are wrong.
