Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

When expressing a purpose or intention related to a future action, we use the infinitive form of the verb (to + base form of the verb). In this case, the purpose of leaving for Mumbai on Sunday is to arrive there on Monday. So, it should be to arrive there to indicate the intended purpose or action.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He left for Mumbai on Sunday to arrive there on Monday.
