Consider the following statements about the Earth's atmosphere and ozone layer: 1. The Montreal Protocol, enacted in 1987, targeted the reduction of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, which are primary contributors to ozone depletion. It mandated a complete phase-out of these substances by 2000. 2. The Antarctic ozone hole is primarily attributed to the reaction of ozone with nitrogen oxides (NOx) released from volcanic eruptions, rather than halogenated compounds. 3. The Dobson Unit (DU) is a measurement used to express the total column amount of ozone in the atmosphere. One Dobson Unit represents a thickness of 0.01 millimeters of ozone at standard temperature and pressure. 4. The presence of ozone in the stratosphere plays a crucial role in absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation, thus protecting the Earth’s surface from harmful UV-B rays.

Consider the following statements regarding the British Land Revenue Policies in India: 1. The Permanent Settlement of 1793 fixed the land revenue at 10/11th of the total agricultural produce, leaving Zamindars with only 1/11th, which led to widespread discontent among them. 2. The Ryotwari system, introduced by Thomas Munro in the Madras Presidency, allowed the government to reassess the land revenue periodically based on the fertility of the soil and the condition of crops. 3. Under the Mahalwari system, first implemented in the North-Western Provinces by Holt Mackenzie, the entire village (Mahal) was held collectively responsible for land revenue, and the assessment was revised every 30 years. 4. All three systems—Permanent Settlement, Ryotwari, and Mahalwari—were designed to encourage agricultural productivity and investment, but they often resulted in rural indebtedness due to excessive revenue demands and lack of institutional support for peasants.
