Consider the following statements regarding Bangladesh Railway's order with Rail Coach Factory: 1. The first rake of LHB coaches was rolled out in 2025. 2. Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala manufactured the first rake of LHB coaches for Bangladesh Railway under a prestigious order entrusted by Bangladesh Railway through RITES in 2024. 3.

The fact list states that Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala is set to roll out the first rake of LHB coaches for Bangladesh Railway on August 12, 2026, and that Bangladesh Railway entrusted RCF, through RITES, with a prestigious order in 2024 for the manufacture and supply of 200 broad gauge passenger coaches. Therefore, Statement-2 is correct. However, there is no information about the number of coaches in the order, so Statement-3 is false.

Statement-II: These coaches have been specially designed with multiple reclining positions for enhanced passenger comfort, which is a key requirement of Bangladesh Railway. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement-1 is correct because the fact list states that these coaches have been specially customised to meet the operational and passenger requirements of Bangladesh Railway. However, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for this fact, as it only mentions one feature (multiple reclining positions) out of several features that are mentioned in the fact list.
