Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 1 and 3 only
Aam Aadmi Bima Yojana covers the head or one earning member of a rural land-less household (statement 1 true). Eligibility is 18-59 years, not 30-65 years, so statement 2 is wrong. The scheme gives a free scholarship of ₹100 per month each to a maximum of two children of the insured studying in classes 9-12 (statement 3 true). Hence only statements 1 and 3 are correct.
