Consider the following statements: 1. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in India are less than 0.5 t CO₂/capita. 2. In terms of CO₂ emissions from fuel combustion, India ranks second in Asia-Pacific region. 3. Electricity and heat producers are the largest sources of CO₂ emissions in India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Gives explicit historical and projected per‑capita CO₂ figures for India (0.9 t in 2000, projected 1.6 t in 2030) and a world average (3.8 t in 2000).

A student can compare these India figures with a contemporary world average per‑capita CO₂ (from a reputable source) to judge whether India is below 0.5 t today or has risen above it.

States a simple per‑head CO₂ number for India: 'only one metric tonne per head per annum.'

Treat this as an example estimate to test against current official national CO₂ per‑capita statistics to see if India is above or below 0.5 t.

Provides a contrasting example claim that an Indian citizen 'barely reaches 0.5 tons,' highlighting that some sources place India near the 0.5 t threshold.

A student could use this as a hypothesis that India ≈0.5 t and seek recent time‑series data to confirm whether India is below 0.5 t now or has surpassed it.

Notes India’s per‑capita emissions are 'about a third of the global average' and gives India's total emissions (3.9 billion tCO2e in 2019), linking per‑capita fractions to global averages.

If the student knows/looks up the global per‑capita CO₂ value, they can multiply by ~1/3 to estimate India’s per‑capita figure and compare to 0.5 t.

States India’s energy consumption per capita is 'just 30% of the world average,' implying lower fossil‑fuel use per person and thus lower per‑capita CO₂ relative to the world average.

A student can combine this percentage with a known world per‑capita CO₂ figure to approximate India's per‑capita emissions and test the 0.5 t threshold.
