Consider the following graphs. The curves in the graphs indicate different age groups in the populations of two countries A and B over a period of few decades : *Country A* ![Line graph for Country A showing population in millions for age groups <15, 15-64, and 64+ from 1950 to 2050. The <15 group (solid line) peaks around 1970 and then declines. The 15-64 group (dotted line) rises sharply from 1950 to 2010 and then slightly declines. The 64+ group (dashed line) remains low until 2010 and then rises steadily.](/media/pyqs/csat/images/csat_hi_2018_q71_question_text_164.webp)

Years <15 15-64 64+ With reference to the above graphs, which of the following are the **most logical and rational inferences** that can be made? 1. 1. Over the last two and a half decades, the dependency ratio for country B has decreased. 2. 2. By the end of next two and a half decades, the dependency ratio of country A will be much less than that of country B. 3. 3. In the next two decades, the workforce relative to its total population will increase in country B as compared to country A. Select the correct answer using the code given below.
