With reference to the development of a country, which of the following countries is associated with Gross National Happiness?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. BhutanA. भूटान
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Bhutan.
According to the source, Gross National Happiness is a measure of economic and moral progress introduced by the King of Bhutan in the 1970s as an alternative to Gross Domestic Product.
The book explains that, rather than focusing strictly on quantitative economic measures, Gross National Happiness takes into account an evolving mixture of quality-of-life factors.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Gross National Happiness — Bhutan — introduced by the King of Bhutan — 1970s — alternative to Gross Domestic Product — economic and moral progress — quality-of-life factors rather than only quantitative economic indicators.
Belgium, Bangladesh and Indonesia are distractors in this PYQ.
This is a concept-based World GK question rather than a simple country-name association, so understanding the source explanation is particularly useful.
Students should distinguish GNH from GDP because the book explicitly presents it as an alternative framework that considers broader quality-of-life factors.
The source does not name the particular King, specify an exact year within the 1970s, list the individual dimensions of GNH or provide a mathematical formula.
Therefore those details have not been added from outside knowledge.
This question may appear in reverse form: Which country's development philosophy is associated with Gross National Happiness? — Bhutan.
Quick revision: Bhutan — Gross National Happiness — 1970s — King of Bhutan — Alternative to GDP — Quality of Life.
Therefore option (a), Bhutan, is correct.
सही उत्तर भूटान है। स्रोत के अनुसार Gross National Happiness आर्थिक और नैतिक प्रगति का एक measure है जिसे Bhutan के King ने 1970s में Gross Domestic Product के alternative के रूप में introduce किया था। Book बताती है कि Gross National Happiness केवल quantitative economic measures पर strictly focus नहीं करता, बल्कि quality-of-life factors के बदलते हुए combination को भी ध्यान में रखता है। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Gross National Happiness — Bhutan — King of Bhutan — 1970s — Alternative to GDP — Economic and Moral Progress — Quality-of-Life Factors। Belgium, Bangladesh और Indonesia original PYQ में distractors हैं। यह simple country-matching से थोड़ा deeper conceptual question है। Students को GNH और GDP के distinction को समझना चाहिए क्योंकि source explicitly GNH को broader quality-of-life approach के रूप में प्रस्तुत करती है। Source particular King का नाम, 1970s के भीतर exact year, GNH के individual dimensions या कोई mathematical formula नहीं देती। इसलिए ऐसी details outside knowledge से नहीं जोड़ी गई हैं। Reverse question हो सकता है: Gross National Happiness किस country के development approach से associated है? Answer — Bhutan। Quick revision: Bhutan — Gross National Happiness — 1970s — King of Bhutan — Alternative to GDP — Quality of Life। इसलिए विकल्प (a), भूटान, सही उत्तर है।
