This question was cancelled (#) in the official MPSC final answer key.

Key Points:
• Legal Context and Relevant Provisions:
• Section 51(1) of the Registration Act, 1908 specifies the books to be kept in several offices:
• Book 1: "Register of non-testamentary documents relating to immovable property".
• Book 2: "Record of reasons for refusal to register".
• Book 3: "Register of wills and authorities to adopt" (इच्छापत्रे / मृत्युपत्रे व दत्तक घेण्याच्या अधिकारांची नोंदवही).
• Book 4: "Miscellaneous register".
• Book 5: "Register of deposits of wills" (मृत्युपत्रांच्या ठेवींची नोंदवही - maintained exclusively in the office of a Registrar under Section 51(2)).
• Since Book No. 3 is the register of wills and Book No. 5 is the register of deposits of wills, both Book 3 and Book 5 relate to Wills. The phrasing in the options created ambiguity regarding whether offices included only Sub-Registrar offices (Book 3) or Registrar offices as well (Book 3 & 5), leading to MPSC cancelling this question.
• Key Takeaway: Under Section 51 of Registration Act 1908, Book 3 registers wills/authorities to adopt, and Book 5 registers deposits of wills.
