Q. Consider the following pairs:
| Punjab |
First state to achieve 100% piped water supply |
| Kerala |
First state to achieve 100% literacy rate in India |
| Rajasthan |
First state to implement the Right to Information Act |
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Answer:
Only two pairs
Notes:
- Punjab: It is the fifth state to achieve 100% piped water supply to rural households, not the first. So, this pair is incorrect.
- Goa was the first state in India to achieve 100% piped water supply in rural areas.
- Kerala: It was the first state in India to achieve a 100% literacy rate in 1991, making this pair correct.
- Rajasthan: It was the first state to implement the Right to Information Act in 2000, making this pair correct as well.
Thus, only two pairs are correct.
