Question
With reference to India, consider the following pairs:
I. The National Automotive Board
— Ministry of Commerce and Industry
II. The Coir Board
— Ministry of Heavy Industries
III. The National Centre for Trade Information
— Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Explanation
These institutions are linked to specific Union Ministries, and the question tests correct mapping, where options are deliberately interchanged.
Pair I is incorrect. The National Automotive Board (NAB) works under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, not the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
Pair II is incorrect. The Coir Board comes under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), not the Ministry of Heavy Industries.
Pair III is incorrect. The National Centre for Trade Information (NCTI) is under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, not MSME.
Thus, none of the pairs are correctly matched.
