2. B. 2 and 3 only
3. C. 1 and 3 only
4. D. 1, 2, and 3 all are true

Correct Answer

Option A — 1 and 2 only

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.

Key Points

• Statement 1 (Justice Sanjiv Khanna is the 51st Chief Justice of India) and statement 2 (he succeeded Justice D. Y. Chandrachud) are both true.
• Statement 3 is false — he became CJI in November 2024, not 2023.
• Since one statement carries a wrong year, only the '1 and 2' combination survives; always date-check the third statement in such sets.
