Consider the following statements about BRICS Summits:
1. The first BRICS Summit was held in Brazil
2. BRICS Summits were held in New Delhi on three occasions
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  • A
    1 only
  • B
    2 only
  • C
    Both 1 and 2
  • Correct answer
    D
    Neither 1 nor 2

Solution

The first BRIC Summit was held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in 2009. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.

India has hosted the BRICS Summit three times: in 2012 (New Delhi), 2016 (Goa), and 2021 (New Delhi/Virtual). Thus, the summit was held in New Delhi on two occasions, not three. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.

Therefore, neither statement 1 nor 2 is correct.

Answer: Neither 1 nor 2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
