A1 and 2

B2, 3, 4 and 5 ✓ Correct

C2 and 4

D5 and 6

Correct answer: (B) 2, 3, 4 and 5

Explanation

Statements 2, 3, 4 and 5 all assert the one fact that Binod is a teacher.

Statement 2 has Binod himself say 'I am a teacher'.

Statement 3, from Binod's father, calls his son a teacher, and that son is Binod.

Statements 4 and 5, from Binod's sister, call her brother a teacher, and that brother is Binod.

Each therefore states the same proposition, that Binod is a teacher.
