Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct
Schedule 1 of the Flag Code lists nine standard flag sizes; 600 mm × 400 mm is not among them (the nearest standard is 900 mm × 600 mm or 450 mm × 300 mm). The Code also fixes the length-to-height ratio of the flag at 3:2. Therefore Statement I is incorrect while Statement II is correct.
