Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)

Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
Explanation : The term business magnate is singular, indicating an individual who holds significant influence or wealth in the business world. To match the subject-verb agreement, adjusting this term to its plural form, business magnates align with the subject, some of the richest indicating multiple individuals who are wealthy in the business field.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " Some of the richest business magnates live in Mumbai."
