The fact list supports that the meeting was held under India's BRICS Chairship (Statement 2), but contradicts Statement 1, which incorrectly states the year of the meeting. Statement 3 is also false, as the meeting was held in Pune, not Mumbai.

Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: The 7th BRICS ICT Working Group Meeting was held in Pune, India. Statement-II: The meeting was held under India's BRICS Chairship. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

• A.Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I
• B.Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct but Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I

• D.Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct

Statement 1 is correct because it is explicitly mentioned in fact 8 that the BRICS ICT Working Group Meeting was held in Pune, India.

Statement 2 explains Statement 1 because the chairship of BRICS is the reason why the meeting was held in Pune, India.
