Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The correct construction following the word "capable" uses the preposition "of" rather than "to". A gerund is a verb form ending in "-ing" that functions as a noun in a sentence. It serves as the object of the preposition "of" and functions as a noun. So, the correct structure is "capable of doing this work."
The correct sentence would be: "He is capable of doing this work within the stipulated period."
