Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Overcharging by auto-rickshaw drivers in Bengaluru
A subject line names the exact issue of the letter in a few words. Farhan’s letter is about drivers asking for more money than they should. Overcharging means asking for a higher price than is fair.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Rash driving by auto-rickshaw drivers on Jayanagar roads — Incorrect. It names a different problem. The letter is about high fares, not unsafe driving.
Option 2: A travel problem in our city — Incorrect. It is too vague. It does not say what the problem is.
Option 4: Greedy auto drivers are looting the public — Incorrect. It is rude and emotional. A subject line should be calm.
