Answer

Statement I: The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.

Sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 60.

Twice the number = 2 × 24 = 48.

Since 60 ≠ 48, 24 is not a perfect number.

∴ Statement I is false.

Statement II: This is the correct definition of a perfect number.

∴ Statement II is true.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
