Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) 1 and 4
Statement 1 is correct because NTPC is India’s largest power-generation utility. Statement 4 is also correct—the Indian Ordnance Factories (then under the Ordnance Factory Board) constituted the largest departmentally run industrial undertaking. Statements 2 and 3 are wrong: ONGC produces crude and gas but never contributed as much as 50 % of India’s LPG output, and Indian Oil Corporation operates several—but not all—refineries (e.g., BPCL, HPCL, Reliance run their own). Therefore only 1 and 4 are true, making option (d) the right choice. ([edurev.in](https://edurev.in/t/203066/Indian-Panorama-Solved-Questions--1995-2020--2))
