C. (c) Statement-I is correct but Statement- II is incorrect
D. (d) Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct✓ Correct

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

According to the Flag Code of India, 2002, the ratio of the length to the height (width) of the National Flag must always be 3:2. This makes Statement II correct. However, while 600 mm x 400 mm maintains the 3:2 ratio, it is not listed as one of the nine standard dimensions specified in the Flag Code (e.g., 900x600 mm, 450x300 mm are standard).

Therefore, Statement I is incorrect. This question tests precise factual knowledge of the Flag Code, which gained prominence during campaigns like 'Har Ghar Tiranga', making it relevant for UPSC Polity and Current Affairs.
