Explanationव्याख्या
All five statements are correct according to the source.
The Henley Passport Index 2026 provides a comparative picture of international travel access associated with different passports.
Singapore retained the first position for the third consecutive year and had access to 192 destinations.
The United Arab Emirates achieved its highest-ever ranking, reaching fifth place with access to 184 destinations.
The United States returned to the top ten and occupied the 10th position, with access to 179 destinations.
At the lower end of the ranking, Pakistan was placed 98th with access to 31 destinations, while Afghanistan occupied the final 101st position with access to only 24 destinations.
India, although not directly listed in the five statements, is another important part of the same current-affairs item.
India rose five places from 85th in 2025 to 80th in 2026 and shared its position with Niger and Algeria.
Indian passport holders had visa-free, visa-on-arrival or ETA access to 55 destinations.
India had also ranked 80th in 2024 before falling to 85th in 2025, so the latest result represented a recovery.
The source states that the index data are based on International Air Transport Association statistics.
For competitive exams, numerical pairing is crucial because options can easily swap the rank and access figures of different countries.
The correct memory set from the source is Singapore 1st
192; UAE 5th
184; US 10th
179; India 80th
55; Pakistan 98th
31; Afghanistan 101st
24.
Since each of the five statements reproduces these values correctly, option D, all five statements, is the correct answer.
सभी पाँच statements सही हैं। Henley Passport Index 2026 different passports से जुड़े international travel access की comparative ranking provide करता है। Source के अनुसार Singapore लगातार third consecutive year first position पर रहा और उसके passport holders को 192 destinations का access था। United Arab Emirates ने अपना highest-ever ranking achieve किया और 184 destinations access के साथ 5th position पर पहुँचा। United States top ten में वापस आया और 179 destinations access के साथ 10th position पर रहा। Ranking के lower end पर Pakistan 31 destinations access के साथ 98th rank पर था, जबकि Afghanistan 24 destinations access के साथ last यानी 101st position पर था। India भी इसी current-affairs entry का important part है। India 2025 के 85th rank से five positions improve करके 2026 में 80th rank पर पहुँचा और Niger तथा Algeria के साथ rank share की। Indian passport holders को 55 destinations में visa-free, visa-on-arrival या ETA access था। India 2024 में भी 80th था, 2025 में 85th पर गिरा और 2026 में फिर 80th पर लौट आया। Source ranking को International Air Transport Association statistics based data से जोड़ता है। Competitive exams में rank और destination-access values swap करके confusing options दिए जा सकते हैं। इसलिए exact set याद रखें: Singapore 1/192; UAE 5/184; US 10/179; India 80/55; Pakistan 98/31; Afghanistan 101/24। प्रश्न में दिए गए सभी पाँच statements source के अनुसार सही हैं, इसलिए option D सही answer है।
