Answer 2

Answer:

Many a  businessman want to be rich.

Option (b) many a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Many an is more formal than many because it always utilises a singular noun. It is rarely widely used and is mostly found in newspapers and great publications. The word many an is used to describe a huge quantity of anything.

Many a/an..., like the adjective and pronoun many, is used to imply a vast number of anything. It does, however, require a singular noun followed by a singular verb.
