Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as the Flag Code of India, 2002, which came into effect on January 26, 2002, was issued in supersession of the earlier 'Flag Code-India' that existed previously [2]. This new code consolidated all laws, conventions, and practices for the display of the National Flag [2]. Statement 2 is also correct; the State Emblem of India is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath [4]. While the original sculpture features four Asiatic lions standing back to back, the emblem was formally adopted by the Government of India on January 26, 1950, to represent its sovereignty [5]. The motto 'Satyameva Jayate' from the Mundaka Upanishad is inscribed below the capital in Devanagari script [6]. Therefore, both statements are accurate representations of India's national symbols and their legal frameworks.
