• B. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true
• C. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false
• D. Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true

Adulteration takes place more in loosely sold items than those sold in packets. It is easier to add adulterants into loose items. Powder and paste forms are more adulterated than solid lumps because they are not easily distinguishable compared to big solid lumps which can be identified by sight.
