What share of global 6G standards and patents does India aim to contribute?
- A.5 per cent
- B.10 per cent
- C.20 per cent
- D.25 per cent
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 10 per cent. That is the target India has set for its contribution to global 6G standards and patents, and it sits behind the larger ambition of moving the country from being an adopter of technology to being a setter of standards, an emphasis credited to the Minister of State for Communications. Option A halves the figure and appeals to candidates who think the target must be modest. Option C doubles it and is tempting because the same news mentions that India joined over 20 like-minded governments, so the number 20 is floating in the passage and gets attached to the wrong idea. Option D is simply a larger round figure. When revising, separate the two numbers deliberately: over 20 is the count of governments that have affirmed the Call to Action, while 10 per cent is India's own target share of standards and patents.
