Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: The ticket counter at Rewari station stays shut between one to two in the afternoon. — Incorrect. The option says “between one to two”. It mixes the two pairs. After “between”, the second time comes after “and”.
Option 3: The ticket counter at Rewari station stays shut between one till two in the afternoon. — Incorrect. “Till” cannot pair with “between”. “Between” is always followed by “and”.
Option 4: The ticket counter at Rewari station stays shut from one and two in the afternoon. — Incorrect. The option says “from one and two”. “From” is followed by “to”, not “and”.
