Correct answer: A
Concept
Pin down the launch year (or date) of each scheme/event named in the statements from an authoritative source.
Sort those years in ascending order to get the sequence from earliest to latest.
Application
The four schemes and their official launch years are:
Statement | Scheme | Launch year |
|---|---|---|
1 | Atal Pension Yojana | 2015 |
2 | Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana | 2014 |
3 | Start Up India Yojana | 2016 |
4 | Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana | 2017 |
Sorting these years in ascending order (2014 → 2015 → 2016 → 2017) gives the statement sequence 2, 1, 3, 4.
Cross-check
This order also matches the broader rollout logic of India's financial-inclusion and social-security push: universal bank-account access (Jan Dhan) came first, followed by a pension/insurance layer built on those new accounts (Atal Pension Yojana), then an entrepreneurship push (Start Up India), and finally a dedicated senior-citizen pension scheme (PMVVY) rounding out the social-security suite. The sequence 2, 1, 3, 4 is therefore confirmed.
