Q1. Assertion (A): Today India and China are more likely to behave as economic competitors and partners than as military rivals. Reason (R): Since the 1990s both countries have concentrated on economic growth, expanded bilateral trade and signed agreements to maintain peace along the border. Choose the correct option.
अभिकथन (A): आज भारत और चीन के सैन्य प्रतिद्वंद्वियों की तुलना में आर्थिक प्रतिस्पर्धियों और भागीदारों के रूप में व्यवहार करने की अधिक संभावना है। कारण (R): 1990 के दशक से दोनों देशों ने आर्थिक वृद्धि पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया है, द्विपक्षीय व्यापार का विस्तार किया है और सीमा पर शांति बनाए रखने के लिए समझौतों पर हस्ताक्षर किए हैं। सही विकल्प चुनिए।
- A. A is false, but R is true / A गलत है, परंतु R सही है
- B. A is true, but R is false / A सही है, परंतु R गलत है
- C. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A / A और R दोनों सही हैं, और R, A की सही व्याख्या है
- D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A / A और R दोनों सही हैं, परंतु R, A की सही व्याख्या नहीं है
Solution
Both statements are true, and their shared focus on growth, rising trade and border-peace agreements is exactly why the relationship is now more economic than military.
दोनों कथन सत्य हैं, और वृद्धि पर उनका साझा ध्यान, बढ़ता व्यापार तथा सीमा-शांति समझौते ठीक वही कारण हैं जिनसे यह संबंध अब सैन्य के बजाय अधिक आर्थिक हो गया है।
Q2. Under Deng Xiaoping in 1978, which step marked the beginning of China's integration with the world economy?
1978 में देंग शियाओपिंग के अधीन, किस कदम ने चीन के विश्व अर्थव्यवस्था के साथ एकीकरण की शुरुआत को चिह्नित किया?
- A. The 'Open Door' policy and economic reforms / 'खुले द्वार' की नीति और आर्थिक सुधार
- B. The establishment of the People's Republic of China / चीन जनवादी गणराज्य की स्थापना
- C. Joining the World Trade Organisation / विश्व व्यापार संगठन में शामिल होना
- D. The 'Great Leap Forward' / 'महान अग्रगामी छलांग'
Solution
The announcement of the 'Open Door' policy and economic reforms in 1978 began China's opening to the world economy; WTO membership came much later, in 2001.
1978 में 'खुले द्वार' की नीति और आर्थिक सुधारों की घोषणा ने विश्व अर्थव्यवस्था के प्रति चीन के खुलने की शुरुआत की; विश्व व्यापार संगठन की सदस्यता बहुत बाद में, 2001 में मिली।

- C. Education / शिक्षा
- D. Agriculture / कृषि
Solution
The Four Modernisations were agriculture, industry, science and technology, and the armed forces (defence); education was not one of them.
