वरीलपैकी कोणते/ती विधान/ने असत्य आहे/आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option B (only (a)).

Key Points:
• Poverty Estimates ( Tendulkar Committee / 2009-10 Data ):
• Statement (a) is incorrect because the expenditure values cited for rural and urban areas are interchanged in the statement: as per Tendulkar methodology for 2009-10, the poverty line was defined as ₹27.20 (or around ₹28.60 for urban and ₹22.40 for rural? Actually, rural was ₹27.20 and urban was ₹33.33 per capita per day, or as per the specific NSS numbers, urban poverty line was higher than rural, but statement (a) lists rural as ₹28.60 and urban as ₹22.40, which reverses urban and rural values).
• Statement (b) is correct; total poverty ratio in India for 2009-10 was estimated at 29.8%.
• Statement (c) is correct; rural poverty stood at 33.8% and urban poverty at 20.9% based on the Tendulkar Committee report using 2009-10 NSS data.
• Since only statement (a) is incorrect, option (2) is the correct choice.
• Key Takeaway: Statement (a) is incorrect because rural and urban daily per capita expenditure poverty lines were swapped.
