Q1. Which country has emerged as the world's second-largest producer of mobile phones?
A Vietnam
B Germany
C India Correct
D United States
Explanation
India is the keyed answer. The question reflects the current-affairs framing used for the 2024 CET paper: India had emerged as the world's second-largest mobile phone producer after a sharp rise in domestic manufacturing and assembly. Vietnam is a major electronics and phone manufacturing hub, but it is not the answer to this ranking. Germany has strong advanced manufacturing, yet mobile phone production is not its comparable global strength. The United States remains important in design, brands and technology, but not as the second-largest producer by this measure.
