Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I
Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect
Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct
Explanation
Both statements are correct, and Statement-II explains Statement-I. The Flag Code of India dictates that the National Flag must strictly adhere to a length-to-height ratio of 3:2. Consequently, the code lists nine standard prescribed sizes that mathematically maintain this ratio, one of which is precisely 600 mm x 400 mm.
