How many artisans are taking part in the Social Justice Ministry's pavilion at the 45th India International Trade Fair 2026?
- A.More than 130 artisans from 19 states
- B.More than 190 artisans from 13 states
- C.More than 500 artisans from 28 states
- D.More than 75 artisans from 9 states
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is more than 130 artisans from 19 states. That is the scale of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment's participation in this year's trade fair, and the artisans have reached the pavilion through the Ministry's three Apex Corporations, NSFDC, NBCFDC and NSKFDC. Option B simply swaps the two numbers around, a very common trick in objective papers, and gives neither the correct count of artisans nor the correct count of states. Option C inflates the figures well beyond what the Ministry reported for its own pavilion, which occupies a single hall of the fair rather than the whole venue. Option D understates both numbers. Candidates should remember the pair together, 130 artisans and 19 states, along with the pavilion's address in Hall No. 5 on the ground floor of the ITPO complex at Bharat Mandapam.
