Consider the following statements:1.The Standard Mark of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is mandatory for automotive tyres and tubes.2.AGMARK is a quality Certification Mark issued by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. A

   1 only

   (a) 1 only. BIS certification (ISI Standard Mark) is mandatory for automotive tyres and tubes, while AGMARK is an Indian agricultural-produce mark, not an FAO certificate. Only statement 1 is correct, so this is the official key.

2. B

   2 only

   (b) 2 only. Statement 2 misattributes AGMARK to FAO. Not the key.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   (c) Both 1 and 2. The FAO claim knocks out both.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   (d) Neither 1 nor 2. Tyres and tubes do need the BIS Standard Mark, so neither is wrong.

Summary. Official key is (a) 1 only. The Bureau of Indian Standards makes the Standard Mark compulsory for specified goods, including automotive tyres and tubes, for safety. AGMARK is issued under the Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act, 1937 by Indian authorities, not by the FAO. FSSAI marks on packaged food are a neighbouring certification story. Only the BIS tyre statement stands.
