Read the following statement given below and choose the correct alternative

Statement 1- Development is about removing the obstacles to the things that a person can do in life .

Statement 2- Reforms introduced in 1990s have been reduced according to government

Both are correct

Both are incorrect

Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is incorrect

Statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is correct

Explanation:

- Statement 1: This one’s basically summarizing Amartya Sen’s idea of development—helping people remove barriers to good health, education, a decent living, and so on. It’s about more than just money.

- Statement 2: Here’s where things get messy. The economic reforms in India during the 1990s (liberalization, privatization, globalization) weren’t rolled back or “reduced” by the government; if anything, they’ve been extended and deepened over the years.

- Option 1 says both are correct.

- Option 2 says both are wrong—that doesn’t fit the facts.

- Option 3 says Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is wrong. That lines up with reality: the first statement is spot on, the second isn’t.

- Option 4 says Statement 1 is wrong and Statement 2 is right—which isn’t true.

Option 3 is the answer: Statement 1 is correct, Statement 2 is incorrect.
