Q1Consider the following statements regarding the eighth tranche auction of critical and strategic mineral blocks launched by the Ministry of Mines: 1. The eighth tranche offers 20 critical and strategic mineral blocks spread across nine states. 2. Across the seven previously completed tranches, all 88 critical and strategic mineral blocks had been successfully auctioned. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only
B 2 only
C Both 1 and 2
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

The Ministry of Mines launched the eighth tranche auction of 20 critical and strategic mineral blocks spread across nine states, of which 13 are newly identified and 7 are re-offered; so statement 1 is correct. Across the seven previously completed tranches, only 56 of the 88 such blocks had been auctioned, a success rate above 63 per cent, and not all 88; so statement 2 is incorrect. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
