Which of the following statements about India’s largest Charkha is/are true? 1) It was inaugurated in Noida. 2) It is made of used plastic waste. Select the correct answer from the codes given below:

Both statements are true, so the answer is C. The giant charkha was publicised as India's largest and was inaugurated in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, in 2019. It was built from used plastic waste, which tied the Gandhian symbol of self-reliance to the plastic waste and recycling agenda.

• Statement 1 is correct: the structure was unveiled at Noida, so the location claim holds.
• Statement 2 is correct: the structure was fabricated from plastic waste, which is why it was promoted as a recycling message.
• Option A is wrong because it ignores statement 2.
• Option B is wrong because it ignores statement 1.
• Option D is wrong because both statements are true.

The core concept is the charkha as a Swadeshi and Khadi symbol, now associated with the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) and the national flag. For Mains, it links to Gandhian economic ideas, MSME and rural employment, and the solid waste and plastic management debate under environment and governance.

Trap: aspirants often assume the largest charkha must be in a Gandhian site such as Sabarmati or Delhi, and pick A or B by guessing the location or material from memory. Check each statement on its own, since the question is a both-true type.
