Choose the correct statement/s from the following : a. India has less than one doctor per thousand population. b.

(a)भारतामध्ये प्रत्येक एक हजार लोकसंख्येमागे एक पेक्षा कमी डॉक्टर उपलब्ध आहे.

(b)जागतिक आरोग्य संघटनेनुसार डॉक्टर आणि लोकसंख्येचे किमान प्रमाण 3 : 1000 (1000 लोकांसाठी 3 डॉक्टर) असे असावे.

1)फक्त अ / Only a✓ Correct
2)फक्त ब / Only b
3)अ आणि ब दोन्हीही / Both a and b
4)अ आणि ब दोन्हीही नाही / Neither a nor b

Statement a is correct as India's doctor-population ratio is lower than 1 per 1000 (or hovering around the WHO recommendation only recently, historically less). Statement b is incorrect because WHO prescribes a minimum ratio of 1:1000 (1 doctor per 1000 population), not 3:1000.
