Consider the following statements: 1. India has secured 10th rank in International Shipment category in World Bank's Logistics Performance Index Report-2023 2. Global Maritime India Summit-2023 was held in Vishakhapatnam 3. 'Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047' was launched during Global Maritime India Summit-2023 How many of the above statements is/are correct?
- (a)None
- (b)1
- (c)2
- (d)3
Correct — B, 1 (exactly one statement is correct). Only statement 3 stands — 'Amrit Kaal Vision 2047', the government's long-term maritime blueprint, was indeed unveiled at the Global Maritime India Summit 2023. Statement 1 is wrong on the number: India ranked 22nd, not 10th, in the International Shipments component of the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index 2023 (its overall LPI rank was 38th). Statement 2 is wrong on the place — the summit's third edition was hosted in Mumbai, not Visakhapatnam. So just one of the three claims survives.
- (a)None — At least one statement is correct — statement 3 (the launch of 'Amrit Kaal Vision 2047' at GMIS-2023) is true — so the count cannot be zero.
- (c)2 — Only statement 3 is correct; statements 1 (wrong LPI rank) and 2 (wrong venue) are both false, so the count is 1, not 2.
- (d)3 — All three cannot be correct — statement 1 mis-states India's LPI International-Shipments rank and statement 2 mis-states the summit venue. This is the raw store's wrong answer.
This is a current-affairs 'how many of the above are correct' item on India's maritime and logistics push around 2023. Two of the three statements are seeded with a wrong figure or a wrong place, a common trap that rewards precise recall over general familiarity with the news.
Test each statement against the exact number or venue. India did climb the World Bank Logistics Performance Index in 2023, but its International-Shipments rank was 22nd, not 10th; the Global Maritime India Summit's 2023 edition was hosted in Mumbai, not Visakhapatnam; and it was at that summit that the government released its 'Amrit Kaal Vision 2047' maritime blueprint. Only the third claim holds, giving one correct statement.
- In the World Bank Logistics Performance Index 2023, India ranked 38th overall — up six places from 44th in 2018 — and 22nd on the International Shipments component.
- The third Global Maritime India Summit was held in Mumbai on 17-19 October 2023.
- The government unveiled 'Amrit Kaal Vision 2047', its long-term blueprint for ports, shipping and waterways, at that summit.
- As of the September 2024 exam, statement 3 is the only correct claim, so the count is exactly one.
Only statement 3 is correct — hence (b) '1'.
- Accepting an impressive-sounding rank (10th) without checking the exact figure (22nd).
- Swapping the host city — Mumbai vs Visakhapatnam — in an otherwise real maritime-summit statement.
Current-affairs 'how many of the above statements are correct' items where a wrong number or wrong venue is slipped into a genuine event.
