• A. Mr.Das is in New Delhi today?
• B. Mr. Das is in new Delhi today.
• C. mr das is in New Delhi today
• D. Mr. Das is in New Delhi today.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The word, 'Mr' is a title used before a surname or full name to address or refer to a man without a higher or honorific or professional title. It is usually followed by a full stop as it is an abbreviation for the word, 'Mister'.

The letter 'm' in the word 'Mr' has to be capitalized irrespective of whether the word appears in the beginning of the sentence or otherwise. The word, 'Das' is the surname of a person. 'New Delhi' is the name of a city in India. As "Das' and 'New Delhi' are proper nouns, the letters, 'd' in "Das' and 'Delhi' and 'n' in 'New' have to be capitalized.

The given sentence is an assertive sentence and not a question. Hence, it has to end with a full stop and not a question mark.

Option A ends with a question mark and not a full stop. Hence it is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect as 'n' in 'New' is not capitalized.

Option C is incorrect as the letters 'm' in 'Mr' and 'd' in 'Das' are not capitalized.

Option D: In this option, the letters, 'm' in 'Mr', 'd' in "Das' and 'Delhi' and 'n' in 'New' are all capitalized. The sentence ends with a full stop. Hence, it is correctly punctuated and this option is correct.
