T.N., A.P. bracing for Cyclone Murasu as orange, yellow alerts issued in multiple districts

Consider the following statements regarding Cyclone Murasu Alert Zones: 1. Six districts in Telangana have been issued an orange alert. 2. Five districts have been issued a yellow alert. 3. All districts in Andhra Pradesh have been issued a red alert. How many of the above statements are correct?

• A.Only one
• B.Only two
• C.All three
• D.None

The fact list supports the first two statements as six Telangana districts have been issued an orange alert (statement 7), and five districts have been issued a yellow alert (statement 8). However, there is no evidence to suggest that all districts in Andhra Pradesh have been issued a red alert, making statement 3 false.

Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: The cyclonic storm lay centred about 400 km east-southeast of Nellore. Statement-II: The cyclonic storm was a severe cyclonic storm. 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
• C.Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect
• D.Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct

Statement 1 is true because the fact list states that the cyclonic storm lay centred about 400 km east-southeast of Nellore (statement 2). Statement 2 is false because the fact list does not provide any information about the severity of the cyclonic storm.
