UPSC Prelims 2025 · GS Paper I
Question 96: International Relations and Current Affairs
Consider the following pairs :
| I. | International Year of the Woman Farmer | 2026 |
| II. | International Year of Sustainable and Resilient Tourism | 2027 |
| III. | International Year of Peace and Trust | 2025 |
| IV. | International Year of Asteroid Awareness and Planetary Defence | 2029 |
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
AnswerThe answer is (d).
The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed all four of these observances. 2025 is the International Year of Peace and Trust. 2026 is the International Year of the Woman Farmer. 2027 is the International Year of Sustainable and Resilient Tourism. 2029 is the International Year of Asteroid Awareness and Planetary Defence. So all four pairs are correctly matched.
- I. 2026 is the International Year of the Woman Farmer.
- II. 2027 is the International Year of Sustainable and Resilient Tourism.
- III. 2025 is the International Year of Peace and Trust.
- IV. 2029 is the International Year of Asteroid Awareness and Planetary Defence.
How you could have got this
No shortcut here: in a “how many” question, ruling out options doesn’t help. Every statement has to be judged.
This follows an unofficial answer: UPSC has not published its key for this year, and if that answer is wrong, so is this path.
Which options go is worked out from UPSC’s key and the options, not by a model.
Why each option is right or wrong
- (a) Wrong: all four pairs are correct.
- (b) Wrong: all four pairs are correct.
- (c) Wrong: all four, not three, are correct.
- (d) Right: all four years match their observances.
