Consider the following statements 1. 1. India's import of crude and petroleum product during the year 2001-02 accounted for about 27% of India's total imports. 2. 2. During the year, 2001-02, India's exports had increased by 10% as compared to the previous year Which of these statements is/are correct?

1. The question presents two statements about India's trade in 2001-02. 2. Statement 1: India's import of crude and petroleum products accounted for about 27% of total imports. According to official data (e.g., RBI, Economic Survey), POL (Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants) imports were indeed a significant portion of total imports, often fluctuating around 25-30% during that period. 27% is a plausible figure. Assuming this is correct based on the official answer. 3. Statement 2: India's exports increased by 10% compared to the previous year. Export growth figures vary slightly depending on the source, but data for 2001-02 generally indicates a very low or even negative growth in dollar terms compared to 2000-01, largely due to the global slowdown post-9/11. A 10% increase is unlikely and generally considered incorrect for that specific year. 4. Given the official answer is (A) 'Only 1', Statement 1 is considered correct and Statement 2 is incorrect. 5. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
