Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 and 3 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect. All North-South highways will carry EVEN numbers. All East-West highways will have ODD numbers.

Statements 2 and 3 are correct. North-South highways will increase their numbers from East to West. So a highway from Jodhpur to Kanpur will have a smaller number than a highway from Mumbai to Chennai. East-West highways will increase their numbers as we move from North to South. A highway from Kolkata to Chennai will have a smaller number than a highway from Delhi to Mumbai.
