CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

The board says entry is free on the first Sunday of each month, so a visitor that day pays nothing. This follows.
The board says nothing about the amount charged on other days, or even whether every visitor pays then, so "₹50 on other days" is outside information.
Visitor numbers are not mentioned, and the museum is closed every Monday, so it is not open on the first Monday.

Worth noting

"Free on X" does not mean "paid on everything except X". Turning a statement into its opposite for the other cases is a leap.
