Option 3 : 3
The error lies in the third part of the as the verb must agree with the plural subjects Mr Gupta, his wife and his younger brother. Thus, ‘was’ should be replaced by ‘were’. Since Mr. Gupta is present along with two other people, the subject in question is Mr. Gupta only.
Had the people been describes with the usage of the conjunction ‘and’, then ‘were’ would have been correct. E. G. Mr. Gupta, his wife and his younger brother were present at the station.
