The game took a dramatic turn with the final question for Jayanta and he decided to quit the game after this question - "Which of these institutions has the motto 'Aa Setu Himachalam', signifying from 'Kanyakumari to Himalayas'?" The choices were the Supreme Court, Indian Railways, Archaeological Survey of India, and Survey of India. Despite using his Phone-a-Friend lifeline, Jayanta couldn't answer the question. Later he was asked to guess the answer he chose Supreme Court, which was incorrect. The right answer was the Survey of India, renowned for its comprehensive surveying across the country. FYI, The Survey of India, with its motto 'Aa Setu Himachalam,' is equipped to handle the complexities of surveying the entire nation. It serves as a key advisor to the Government of India on various surveying matters, including geodesy, photogrammetry, mapping, and the reproduction of maps.
Conservatively, Jayanta chose to exit the game after the 14th question, securing INR 12 lakh. His decision, though not taking him to the top prize, highlighted his careful consideration and strategic play. ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16’: Amitabh Bachchan Meets Contestant Simran Bajaj’s ‘Lucky Charm’ on KBC 16 Stage (Watch Video).
