Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation : There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence. The preposition in should be replaced with on to convey the intended meaning that both of them have English papers to submit on Tuesday.

On is a preposition to be used for days and dates.

The options about and at are inappropriate to be used in the context.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Both Santhosh and Rohit have 167 English papers due on Tuesday."
