A. 10A. 10

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 10.
According to the source, the United Nations Security Council consists of 15 members in total.
Five are permanent members: China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The remaining ten are non-permanent members who are elected by the United Nations General Assembly for two-year terms.
Therefore the examination-relevant structure is UNSC — 15 total members — 5 permanent — 10 non-permanent.
The permanent members are often collectively remembered as the P5.
For this PYQ, students should focus on the number of non-permanent members, but remembering the complete composition is much more useful because SSC can ask the total number, list of permanent members, tenure of non-permanent members or the body that elects them.
The source explicitly states that the General Assembly elects the ten non-permanent members for two-year terms.
It also lists all five permanent members, giving students several additional facts from a single question.
The numerical distractors 12, 7 and 5 can mislead candidates who remember only fragments of the Council's composition.
Five is the number of permanent members, not non-permanent members.
A quick calculation also helps: 15 total minus 5 permanent equals 10 non-permanent.
For revision, remember: UN Security Council — 15 members — P5: China, France, Russia, UK, USA — 10 non-permanent — elected by General Assembly — two-year terms.
Hence option (a), 10, is correct.

सही उत्तर 10 है। स्रोत के अनुसार United Nations Security Council में कुल 15 members होते हैं। इनमें 5 permanent members हैं: China, France, Russian Federation, United Kingdom और United States। बाकी 10 non-permanent members होते हैं जिन्हें United Nations General Assembly द्वारा two-year terms के लिए चुना जाता है। इसलिए परीक्षा के लिए पूरा structure याद रखें: UNSC — Total 15 Members — 5 Permanent — 10 Non-Permanent। पाँच permanent members को सामान्य रूप से P5 भी कहा जाता है। इस PYQ में केवल non-permanent members की संख्या पूछी गई है, लेकिन complete composition याद रखना अधिक उपयोगी है क्योंकि SSC total membership, permanent members के नाम, non-permanent members का tenure या उन्हें elect करने वाली body भी पूछ सकता है। Source स्पष्ट रूप से बताता है कि 10 non-permanent members का election General Assembly करती है और उनका term दो वर्ष का होता है। Options 12, 7 और 5 confusion पैदा कर सकते हैं। विशेष रूप से 5 permanent members की संख्या है, non-permanent की नहीं। एक simple calculation से भी उत्तर याद रखा जा सकता है: 15 total members − 5 permanent = 10 non-permanent। Quick revision chain: UN Security Council — 15 total — P5: China, France, Russia, UK, USA — 10 non-permanent — General Assembly द्वारा elected — 2-year term। इसलिए विकल्प (a), 10, सही उत्तर है।
