  1. A.111th
  2. B.118th
  3. C.121st
  4. D.125th

Correct answer

C. 121st

Explanation

The correct answer is the 121st issue. It was brought out by the National Statistical Systems Training Academy, which works under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. Sarvekshana is a bi-annual journal and serves as a platform for disseminating research based on data from the National Sample Survey and from other official statistics, and it is circulated among researchers, data users, ministries and departments and reputed institutions in India and abroad. Options A, B and D are wrong because they do not match the edition announced. Candidates should link the edition number with the three things most often asked alongside it: the academy that releases the journal, the parent ministry, and the periodicity, which is twice a year. This issue carries three peer-reviewed technical papers along with the highlights of two National Sample Survey rounds.
