Question
Consider the following statements in respect of the National Flag of India according to the Flag Code of India, 2002:
Statement-I: One of the standard sizes of the National Flag of India is 600 mm x 400 mm.
Statement-II: The ratio of the length to the height (width) of the Flag shall be 3:2.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Explanation
Statement I is incorrect: The Flag Code of India, 2002 prescribes nine standard flag sizes (like 6300×4200 mm, 900×600 mm, 450×300 mm, and so on), but 600 mm × 400 mm is not one of them.
Statement II is correct: The Code does fix the length-to-height ratio at 3:2 for the National Flag, regardless of which standard size is used.
Since Statement I fails but Statement II holds, the answer is Option D.
