\nThe correct option is C) A person employed for repairing an article in any premises wherein 15 persons are employed.
\n<\/section>\n

\n– Employment in factories, workshops, or other premises where manufacturing or other operations are carried on and where a certain number of persons are employed (thresholds varied over time but premises with 15 employees suggest a formal workplace) are typically included in Schedule II. Repairing an article in such a premises is likely employment for the purpose of the employer’s trade or business and falls within the scope of scheduled employments.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– A person whose employment is of a casual nature and who is employed otherwise than for the purposes of the employer’s trade or business is excluded from the definition of ‘workman’\/’employee’. Option A is ambiguous but suggests potential exclusion.
\n– Persons employed in domestic service (like a personal cook for a Managing Director) are generally excluded from the definition. Option B is excluded.
\n– The Captain of an aircraft, while employed in a scheduled employment (operation of aircraft), might be excluded if they were in a managerial, administrative, or supervisory capacity drawing wages above a certain limit (as per the Act before 2000 amendment which removed the wage ceiling). Option D is potentially excluded depending on specifics.
\n– Option C describes employment in a setting typically covered by the Act, performing work related to the premises’ activity, making the person a ‘workman’.
