Correct Answer: Both statements 1 and 2 are true.


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Both statements 1 and 2 are true.

Statement 1 is true: Positive economics deals with objective analysis and aims to explain economic phenomena as they are, without making value judgments or prescribing what should be.

Therefore, both statements are true and accurately describe the distinction between positive and normative economics.
