Answer 1

Explanation:

She then took the railway board exam and passed it on her first attempt. She became the first woman engine driver for Northern Railways. In this way she broke stereo type that engine drivers could be men only. She says I have challenges and the moment somebody says it is not for girls. I make sure I go ahead and do it.
