2. Deepa Bhasthi
3. Sanjay Chauhan
Select the correct answer from the code given below :
a) 1 and 2
b) Only 3
c) 2 and 3
d) Only 1
Correct Answer: a) 1 and 2
Question from UPPSC Prelims 2025
Explanation:
The International Booker Prize is jointly awarded to the book’s author and its English translator. In 2025, Banu Mushtaq and Deepa Bhasthi were named as co-winners (author–translator pair) for the prize; hence both 1 and 2 are correct. Sanjay Chauhan is a Hindi film screenwriter who passed away in 2023 and had no association with the 2025 International Booker, so 3 is incorrect. Therefore, the correct option is 1 (1 and 2).
