Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The sentence contains a prepositional error. When referring to a specific time limit, the appropriate preposition to use is within rather than in .
When "within" is used in relation to time, it conveys that an action will occur before the end of a specified period. When "in" is used with a time frame, it suggests the action will happen at some point during that time.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "He has promised to pay me the whole amount in cheque within the stipulated time."
