Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
By the end of 2007 India’s installed electricity-generation capacity had already crossed 138 GW (>100 000 MW), so statement 1 understates the figure and is incorrect. Gross electricity generation in 2006-07 was about 662.5 billion units (kWh), matching statement 2; hence only statement 2 is right.
