Correct answer: (b) 2 only
Explanation
- A
1 only
Statement 1 is false: PM-JAY covers up to ₹5 lakh per family per year, not per person. ‘1 only’ therefore fails.
- B
2 only
Statement 2 is correct for most States: the Centre–State sharing of PM-JAY costs is 60:40 (90:10 for North-Eastern and three Himalayan States). Statement 1 fails, so 2 only is the official key.
- C
Both 1 and 2
Both cannot stand because the per-person wording in statement 1 is wrong.
- D
Neither 1 nor 2
Neither would throw out the 60:40 sharing rule, which is the standard funding pattern.
Summary. Official key is (b) 2 only. Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY is a family floater of ₹5 lakh, funded 60:40 in general category States. Honour the stored letter (b).
