Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Several important government programmes and legislations in India are identified by their year of introduction. These are frequently asked in competitive examinations.

Step 1: Match each programme/Act with its year.
• High Yield Variety Seeds Programme (HYVP) was launched in 1966.
• Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act was enacted in 1952.
• First Industrial Policy Resolution was announced in 1948.
• Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Programme (RLEGP) was launched in 1983.

Step 2: Prepare the correct matching. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline List-I & List-II \hline A.\ \text{HYV Seeds Programme} & I.\ 1966 \hline B.\ \text{EPF Act} & II.\ 1952 \hline C.\ \text{Industrial Policy Resolution} & IV.\ 1948 \hline D.\ \text{RLEGP} & III.\ 1983 \hline \end{array} \] Thus, \[ \boxed{A-I,\;B-II,\;C-IV,\;D-III} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer}=(B)} \]
