Explanation:

- Mr. Gupta with his wife (1): This part is introducing Mr. Gupta as the main subject and mentions his wife is accompanying him. There is no error here.

- and younger brother (2): This part continues to add Mr. Gupta's younger brother to the group. The conjunction "and" implies a list of people, which might lead to a confusion with subject-verb agreement but doesn’t necessarily indicate an error.

- were present at the station. (3): Here is the issue. The main subject, "Mr. Gupta with his wife and younger brother," should be considered singular because the phrase "with his wife and younger brother" acts as additional information. Therefore, the correct verb should be "was" instead of "were".

- Options:

- Option:1, 1: Incorrect, as there is no error in this part.

- Option:2, 2: Incorrect, as there is no error in this part.

- Option:3, 3: This is the correct option as the error lies here.

- Option:4, 4: Incorrect, as there is indeed an error in the sentence.
