Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: d) More than one of the above
Explanation:
– As per Department of Commerce (Quick Estimates) for April–September 2024-25, the top ten principal export commodities include categories such as Engineering Goods, Petroleum Products, Gems & Jewellery, Drugs & Pharmaceuticals, Organic & Inorganic Chemicals, Electronic Goods, Ready-Made Garments (RMG) of all Textiles, Plastic & Linoleum, Rice, and Marine Products.
– Therefore:
– Petroleum Products (option a) is in the top ten.
– Iron and Steel (option b) is not among the top ten principal export commodities.
– Basmati Rice (option c) is not listed separately in the top ten; the category included is “Rice” (aggregate), not specifically “Basmati Rice.”
– Hence, more than one of the given options (b and c) are not among the top ten.
