ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect ✓ Correct
CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect — Both statements are incorrect, so the answer is that both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Explanation
★Both statements are incorrect, so the answer is that both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
★The UGC is a statutory body set up under the UGC Act of 1956, not a plain central government organisation.
★So describing it as a central government organisation misstates its nature, making statement I incorrect.
★The UGC set up more than five regional centres to oversee higher education.
★So the figure of five regional centres understates the number, making statement II incorrect.
★Neither statement matches the correct facts about the UGC.
★Therefore both statements are incorrect.
