Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
CONCEPT
When a statement-pair question asks whether historical claims are true or false, each claim must be checked independently against its documented date. The final combination follows only after both truth values have been established.
APPLICATION
The University Education Commission, chaired by Dr S. Radhakrishnan, was appointed in 1948 and reported in 1949; therefore the claimed period 1952–53 does not identify its establishment.
The National Knowledge Commission was constituted by the Government of India in 2005; therefore the second statement has the documented year.
CONTRAST
“Both true” retains the incorrect 1952–53 date.
“Both false” rejects the documented 2005 date for the National Knowledge Commission.
“Statement I true, Statement II false” reverses both historical evaluations.
“Statement I false, Statement II true” follows both dates.
RESULT
Statement I is false, while Statement II is true.
