Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation
At the time of the CDS-I 2008 exam (February 2008), only three national waterways had been officially declared: NW-1 (1986), NW-2 (1988), and NW-3 (1993). NW-4 and NW-5 were notified later in November 2008. Thus, Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because NW-1 (Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hooghly, 1620 km) is the longest national waterway, while the Sadiya-Dhubri stretch (NW-2) is only 891 km. Therefore, only Statement 1 is correct, making A the right answer.
