Which among the following is NOT a member of the BASIC group?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. AustraliaC. ऑस्ट्रेलिया
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Australia.
According to the source, the BASIC group consists of four large newly industrialised countries: Brazil, South Africa, India and China.
The acronym BASIC itself can be used as a memory device: B for Brazil, A for South Africa in the group's established name sequence, S for South Africa is not how the acronym is mechanically expanded, so students should memorise the actual four-country composition rather than trying to derive it letter by letter.
The source states that the group was formed through an agreement on 28 November 2009.
For competitive examinations, the essential facts are BASIC — Brazil, South Africa, India and China — formed by agreement on 28 November 2009.
Australia is not a member and is therefore the correct answer to this negatively worded question.
Students should pay special attention to 'NOT' because South Africa, India and Brazil are all genuine members listed by the book.
The fourth member, China, is not included in the options, which is another useful fact to remember.
Group-membership questions are common in SSC and may ask either which country belongs, which does not belong, or the total composition of an international grouping.
This is why remembering the full membership is more useful than remembering only Australia as the answer.
The source describes BASIC as a grouping of large newly industrialised countries.
The key revision line is therefore: BASIC = Brazil + South Africa + India + China; Australia is not a member; agreement dated 28 November 2009.
Hence option (c) is correct.
सही उत्तर ऑस्ट्रेलिया है। स्रोत के अनुसार BASIC group में चार बड़े newly industrialised countries शामिल हैं: Brazil, South Africa, India और China। इसलिए Australia इस group का member नहीं है। प्रतियोगी परीक्षा के लिए केवल Australia को याद करने के बजाय पूरा membership याद करना बहुत जरूरी है, क्योंकि अगला प्रश्न किसी member का नाम पूछ सकता है या कौन-सा देश BASIC में शामिल है/नहीं है यह पूछा जा सकता है। Source के अनुसार BASIC देशों का group 28 November 2009 के agreement से बना था। Main revision chain रखें: BASIC — Brazil + South Africa + India + China — formed by agreement on 28 November 2009। इस प्रश्न में negative wording 'NOT a member' है, इसलिए विद्यार्थी प्रश्न को ध्यान से पढ़ें। South Africa, India और Brazil तीनों वास्तविक members हैं। China चौथा member है, हालांकि वह options में नहीं दिया गया है। International Groupings जैसे BASIC, BRICS, SAARC, ASEAN, G7 आदि से membership questions SSC में अक्सर पूछे जाते हैं। इसलिए इन्हें country list के साथ revise करना चाहिए। BASIC के बारे में source इसे four large newly industrialized countries का group बताता है। किसी acronym को देखकर अनुमान लगाने के बजाय actual membership list याद रखना अधिक सुरक्षित है। इस PYQ के लिए Australia स्पष्ट exception है। Quick revision: BASIC = Brazil, South Africa, India, China; Australia = NOT member; agreement date = 28 November 2009। इसलिए विकल्प (c), Australia, सही उत्तर है।
