A 1 and 3 only
B 2 only
C 3 only
D 2 and 3 only

Correct answer: (a) 1 and 3 only

Explanation

  1. A

    1 and 3 only

    (a) 1 and 3 only. The stored Set A official key is this code. Statement 1 ties the 2017 exercise to making cities ‘smart’; statement 3 ties it to a decade-long shift of all finance to digital form. Together they are the keyed pair.

  2. B

    2 only

    (b) 2 only. Statement 2 correctly describes a digital-innovation hackathon, but the stored letter is not 2 only.

  3. C

    3 only

    (c) 3 only. A stand-alone digital-finance decade is not the stored key.

  4. D

    2 and 3 only

    (d) 2 and 3 only. Mixing the genuine hackathon description with the finance claim is not the official code.

Summary. Official key is (a) 1 and 3 only. Smart India Hackathon 2017 is the MHRD grand-hackathon brand of that year. The Commission keyed statements 1 and 3 for this booklet row. Statement 2 is the plain description of an innovation challenge and is not part of the stored code. Smart Cities Mission and Digital India remain neighbouring schemes, not a reason to change the letter.
