Q1Assertion (A): India and the UK agreed to expand exchanges between their armed forces through joint exercises, training and capacity building. Reason (R): Jeremy Pocklington's visit was his first to India as the UK's Permanent Under Secretary for Defence. Select the correct answer using the options below.

A Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
B Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C A is true, but R is false
D A is false, but R is true
Explanation

Both the assertion and the reason are stated in the source. However, Pocklington's first visit in that role does not explain the decision to expand exchanges between the armed forces. Therefore, option B is correct.

Q2With reference to the 25th India-UK Defence Consultative Group meeting, consider the following statements: 1. It was held in New Delhi between Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh and Jeremy Pocklington. 2. Both sides agreed to restrict armed-forces exchanges to capacity building alone. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only
B 2 only
C Both 1 and 2
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: the meeting was held in New Delhi between Rajesh Kumar Singh and Jeremy Pocklington. Statement 2 is incorrect because the two sides agreed to expand exchanges through joint exercises, training and capacity building, not restrict them to capacity building alone.
