1. A

   There are four correct statements.

   This option claims that all four statements regarding the Parliamentary Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are correct. This is incorrect because none of the statements provided are accurate under parliamentary rules.

2. B

   There is only one correct statement, that is statement 2.

   This option claims that only statement 2 is correct. This is incorrect because the composition of the committee involves twenty members elected from the Lok Sabha and ten members from the Rajya Sabha, not the other way around.

3. C

   There are two correct statements, that include statement 1.
