Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5D. 1, 2, 3, 4 और 5
Explanationव्याख्या
All five statements are correct according to the source.
Doug Bracewell is described as a former New Zealand all-rounder who announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket.
His international career spanned 12 years.
During that period, he played 28 Test matches, 21 One-Day Internationals and 20 Twenty20 Internationals for the BLACK CAPS.
The source further records that he took 120 wickets and scored 915 runs during his international career.
This question is useful because it tests several factual dimensions of one retirement announcement rather than merely asking the player's nationality.
Students should understand that the numbers refer to different statistical categories.
Twenty-eight is the number of Tests, 21 is the number of ODIs and 20 is the number of T20Is.
The figure 120 refers to wickets, while 915 refers to runs.
These figures should not be added or interpreted as a single-format record.
The source calls Bracewell an all-rounder, which is consistent with the fact that both his bowling and batting career totals are highlighted.
Another useful association is BLACK CAPS, the name used for New Zealand's men's national cricket team.
The retirement itself is from international cricket across all formats.
For quick examination revision, remember the compact numerical chain: 12 years → 28 Tests → 21 ODIs → 20 T20Is → 120 wickets → 915 runs.
An objective question could make a statement incorrect by changing 28 Tests to 28 ODIs or by claiming that 120 was his number of international matches.
Neither would reflect the source.
Similarly, the source does not describe him as an Australian or South African player; he is explicitly identified with New Zealand.
Since statements 1 through 5 exactly follow the current-affairs source, all of them are correct.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
सभी पाँच statements source के अनुसार सही हैं। Doug Bracewell को former New Zealand all-rounder के रूप में describe किया गया है और उन्होंने all forms of international cricket से retirement announce किया। उनका international career 12 years तक चला। इस दौरान उन्होंने BLACK CAPS के लिए 28 Test matches, 21 One-Day Internationals और 20 Twenty20 Internationals खेले। Source आगे बताता है कि Bracewell ने international career में कुल 120 wickets लिए और 915 runs बनाए। यह question इसलिए useful है क्योंकि केवल retirement announcement नहीं बल्कि एक ही player से जुड़े कई factual dimensions test करता है। Numbers को carefully distinguish करना आवश्यक है। 28 → Tests; 21 → ODIs; 20 → T20Is; 120 → wickets; 915 → runs। इन figures को आपस में interchange नहीं करना चाहिए। Source उन्हें all-rounder बताता है, इसलिए batting और bowling दोनों statistics का दिया जाना भी relevant है। BLACK CAPS New Zealand men's national cricket team का name है और exam में nickname association के रूप में पूछा जा सकता है। Retirement सभी international formats से था। Quick revision chain: Doug Bracewell → New Zealand → all-rounder → 12-year career → 28 Tests → 21 ODIs → 20 T20Is → 120 wickets → 915 runs। यदि statement में 28 ODIs या 120 international matches लिखा जाए तो वह source के अनुसार गलत होगा। इसी प्रकार nationality को New Zealand के अलावा किसी अन्य country से जोड़ना गलत होगा। यहाँ दिए गए statements 1, 2, 3, 4 और 5 सभी source information के अनुरूप हैं। इसलिए option D सही answer है।
