Question

A key feature of the Aadhaar number is its "randomized number." What does this feature imply?

1. The number is based on the individual's income and social status.
2. The number is assigned based on the individual's geographical location.
3. The number can be easily changed by the user.
4. The number does not contain any classification information like caste or religion.

• A. 1 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 2, 3
• D. 4 only

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 4 only

The "Randomized Number" section explains this feature directly: "...it is not based on any classification related to a person's caste, creed, religion, or geographical location." This ensures the number is a neutral identifier.
