Approximately how many participants took part in the India-Netherlands Business Forum?
- A.100
- B.150
- C.200
- D.300
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is about 200. The India-Netherlands Business Forum held during the engagements of 26 October 2026 drew roughly that many participants, and the gathering was made up largely of leading representatives of Indian and Dutch companies rather than of officials alone. The smaller counts in options A and B understate the event: a forum co-chaired by a Union Minister and his Dutch counterpart, convened to open up the India-EU Free Trade Agreement for business, was deliberately built as a large industry meeting. Option D overstates the turnout, which was put at around two hundred rather than three hundred. The figure is worth memorising because examiners often pair an event with its scale, its host country and its co-chairs. The same visit also brought one-to-one meetings with chief executives of Dutch firms and a roundtable with the top management of 15 companies, so the Forum's number should not be mixed up with those smaller meetings.
