Which of the following pairs in respect of current power generation in India is/are correctly matched? (Rounded Figures)

Correct Option (B):

Statement 2 is correctly matched. According to data from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) for the financial year 2007-08, the total electricity generation in India was approximately 661.6 billion kWh. The figure of 660 billion kWh provided in the statement is a close rounded approximation of this actual generation.

Incorrect Options:

Statement 1 is incorrectly matched. As of 2008, India's installed electricity generation capacity had already exceeded 140,000 MW. The figure of 100,000 MW mentioned in the statement is significantly lower than the actual capacity at that time.

Therefore:

• Option (A) is incorrect because statement 1 is factually inaccurate.
• Option (C) is incorrect as only statement 2 is accurate, not both.
• Option (D) is incorrect because statement 2 is factually correct.
