- A1 and 2 only
- B2 and 4 only
- C1, 2 and 3
- D2, 3 and 4
Explanation
Census 2011: Madhya Pradesh had the largest tribal population (about 1.53 crore) and Mizoram the highest tribal share (about 94.4%) — statements 1 and 2 are true. Statement 3 is false because the second-largest tribal population is Maharashtra's, not Chhattisgarh's; statement 4 is false because the second-highest tribal percentage is Nagaland's, not Arunachal Pradesh's. Hence only 1 and 2.
