The Right to Education Act (RTE) makes it mandatory to provide free and compulsory education for children in the age group between

A6 and 14 years ✓ Correct

B6 and 12 years

C8 and 14 years

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (A) 6 and 14 years

Explanation

The Right to Education Act mandates free and compulsory education for children aged six to fourteen years.

The range of six to twelve years falls short of the stated upper age.

The range of eight to fourteen years starts later than the law provides.

Since a defined range applies, 'none of the above' does not fit.

This corresponds to the elementary stage of schooling.

It reflects the age band written into Article 21A.
