@All.
Here's my explanation.
Subject & clause:
Nitin's nephew, who lives in Bangalore → grammatically correct. The relative clause “who lives in Bangalore” is fine.
Verb phrase: is eager to travel to Delhi → correct usage. “Travel to Delhi” is standard.
Object phrase: to have a glimpse of the capital → acceptable. Some might prefer “to catch a glimpse,” but “to have a glimpse” is not grammatically wrong.
Overall structure: No redundancy, no tense errors, no misplaced prepositions.
Final Answer: No error. Option E is correct.
The sentence is grammatically sound, though stylistically, “catch a glimpse” would be smoother.

Agree @Suryansh.
I also think the same. The answer should be option B. To will not come twice.
