B. 2B. 2

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer according to the source is 2.
The book states that Pakistan reached the final of the ICC Men's World Cup twice: first in 1992, when Pakistan became champion, and again in 1999, when Pakistan finished as runner-up.
The source further states that Australia won the World Cup in 1999.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Pakistan — ICC Men's World Cup finals — 2 appearances — 1992 champion — 1999 runner-up — Australia won in 1999.
This is a sports-history question embedded in the book's Static GK sequence.
Because the question refers to a count that can only be interpreted in the context of the source and the period of the PYQ, it should be preserved as the source presents it rather than silently updated using later tournament results.
The question was asked in SSC CPO on 23 November 2020, so its intended knowledge context predates later World Cups.
The source does not provide Pakistan's opponents in either final, scores, venues, captains or tournament statistics.
Therefore those facts have not been added as source-derived information.
The options are 3, 2, 0 and 1, and the book's printed solution selects 2.
A useful way to remember it is through the two years explicitly given by the source: 1992 and 1999.
Quick revision: Pakistan — Two ICC Men's World Cup Finals according to the source — 1992 Winner — 1999 Runner-up.
Therefore option (b), 2, is correct.

स्रोत के अनुसार सही उत्तर 2 है। Book बताती है कि Pakistan ICC Men's World Cup के final में दो बार पहुंचा: पहली बार 1992 में, जब Pakistan champion बना, और दूसरी बार 1999 में, जब Pakistan runner-up रहा। Source यह भी बताती है कि 1999 World Cup Australia ने जीता था। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Pakistan — ICC Men's World Cup Finals — 2 Times — 1992 Champion — 1999 Runner-up — Australia Won in 1999। यह sports history question book के Static GK sequence में दिया गया है। क्योंकि final appearances की संख्या tournament history के साथ समय के अनुसार context-dependent होती है, इस question को source और PYQ period के अनुसार preserve करना चाहिए, न कि later tournament results के आधार पर silently update करना। यह question 23 November 2020 के SSC CPO exam का है, इसलिए intended knowledge context उस समय तक का है। Source finals के opponents, scores, venues, captains या tournament statistics की details नहीं देती। इसलिए outside information को source-derived facts की तरह add नहीं किया गया है। Options 3, 2, 0 और 1 हैं तथा printed solution 2 select करती है। इसे याद करने का आसान तरीका source में दिए two years हैं: 1992 और 1999। Quick revision: Pakistan — 2 Men's World Cup Finals — 1992 Winner — 1999 Runner-up। इसलिए विकल्प (b), 2, सही उत्तर है।
