Identify the incorrect statement :

India has the lower share of poor in comparison to Pakistan

All three nations have reported providing improved drinking water sources for most of its population

Pakistan is ahead of India in reducing proportion of people below the poverty line

China is ahead of both India and Pakistan on income indicators

✅ Correct Option: 1

From the table, India has 60.4% people below poverty line while Pakistan has 46.4%. India actually has a higher share of poor compared to Pakistan. So statement (1) claiming India has a lower share of poor than Pakistan is incorrect. The other statements can be verified from the data and are correct.
