- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
In India, urban life expectancy exceeds rural life expectancy, so statement 1 is something one would observe. But female life expectancy is higher than male life expectancy across states, so statement 2 (male higher than female) is not observed. The question asks which is not likely to be observed - that is statement 2 only.
