- Only 2 and 3 are wrong
- Only 1 and 3 are correct
- All statements are wrong
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - All statements are wrong
Under the former Factories Act, 1948 (repealed on 21 November 2025 by the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020), storing in cold storage was part of a manufacturing process (s.2(k)), so 1 was wrong; a person employed in cleaning the premises was a worker (s.2(l)), so 2 was wrong; and a person employed with or without the principal employer's knowledge was a worker (s.2(l)), so 3 was wrong. Thus, 'All statements are wrong' is correct.
