What size of economy is Uttar Pradesh aiming to become, as referred to at the UP International Trade Show?
- A.500 billion dollar economy
- B.One trillion dollar economy
- C.Two trillion dollar economy
- D.Five trillion dollar economy
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is a one trillion dollar economy. Expanding exports, drawing in investment and gaining easier access to markets abroad were all described as contributions towards that goal for Uttar Pradesh. Option D, a five trillion dollar economy, is the strongest distractor because that figure is widely associated with the national economy rather than with a single state, and candidates often mix the two up. Option A, 500 billion dollars, and option C, two trillion dollars, are invented sizes. The supporting facts to hold alongside this are the export path from about Rs 2 lakh crore a year to Rs 5 lakh crore by 2030, the six partner countries at the trade show, and the state's build-up in defence, semiconductors, electronics and robotics backed by expressways, airports and industrial parks.
