Consider the following statements in respect of the National Flag of India According to the Flag Code of India, 2002 : * Statement-I : One of the standard sizes the National Flag of India of 600 mm × 400 mm. * Statement-II : The ratio of the length to the height (width) of the Flag shall be 3:2. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct Answer: Option D
The hoisting, use, and display of the Indian National Flag are governed by the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 and the Flag Code of India, 2002.
According to the Flag Code of India, 2002, the tricolor can be of nine standard dimensions: 6300 x 4200, 3600 x 2400, 2700 x 1800, 1800 x 1200, 1350 x 900, 900 x 600, 450 x 300, 225 x 150 and 150 x 100 (all sizes in mm).
Therefore, a National Flag with dimensions of 600mm x 400mm is not a standard size as per the Flag Code.
The National Flag must be rectangular, and the ratio of its length to its height (width) must be 3:2.
Statement 1 is not correct. Statement 2 is correct. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
