Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. FranceD. फ्रांस
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is France.
According to the source, the headquarters of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures is situated at Sèvres in France.
This organisation is important in international measurement-related cooperation, and for competitive examinations the most important direct association is International Bureau of Weights and Measures — Sèvres — France.
The source also provides a useful cluster of other international organisations whose headquarters are located in France.
It mentions the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Therefore, this question gives students an opportunity to revise several organisation-headquarters pairs together.
In SSC, Railway and other competitive examinations, headquarters questions are common and are often designed with neighbouring European countries as distractors.
Austria, Belgium and Switzerland all host important international organisations, making them plausible options.
The safest preparation method is therefore to learn organisation-city-country combinations rather than only the country.
For this question, remember BIPM
International Bureau of Weights and Measures — Sèvres — France.
The source does not explain its institutional history or technical functions in detail, so those have not been substituted for the book's content.
However, the name itself indicates that the organisation is related to international standards of weights and measurements.
For revision, also retain the France-based organisations specifically mentioned by the book: ICC, UNESCO and OECD.
Hence option (d), France, is correct.
सही उत्तर फ्रांस है। स्रोत के अनुसार International Bureau of Weights and Measures का मुख्यालय France के Sèvres में स्थित है। प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओं के लिए सबसे महत्वपूर्ण सीधा association है: International Bureau of Weights and Measures — Sèvres — France। International organisations के headquarters से संबंधित प्रश्न SSC, Railway और अन्य परीक्षाओं में बार-बार पूछे जाते हैं। इसलिए केवल देश का नाम याद करने के बजाय organisation, city और country तीनों को साथ याद करना अधिक उपयोगी है। स्रोत इसी explanation में France में स्थित कुछ अन्य महत्वपूर्ण organisations का भी उल्लेख करता है। इनमें International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) और Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) शामिल हैं। इस प्रकार एक ही प्रश्न से कई headquarters-related facts revise किए जा सकते हैं। Austria, Belgium और Switzerland भी कई international institutions से जुड़े हैं, इसलिए वे अच्छे distractors हैं। विद्यार्थी केवल यह देखकर उत्तर न चुनें कि organisation European है; specific headquarters association याद होना चाहिए। इस प्रश्न के लिए quick revision chain रखें: International Bureau of Weights and Measures — Sèvres — France। Organisation के नाम से यह भी समझा जा सकता है कि इसका संबंध international measurement standards, weights और measures से है, हालांकि पुस्तक की explanation इसके technical functions का विस्तृत विवरण नहीं देती। Source-based preparation में France के साथ ICC, UNESCO और OECD को भी याद रखें। इसलिए विकल्प (d), France, सही उत्तर है।
