ABC Index announced by the Government of India is associated with which of the following?

A Agriculture
B Communication
C Health
D Education

Correct answer: (d) Education

Explanation

  1. A

    Agriculture

    Agriculture has many Union indices (production, MSP, soil health), but ABC Index in this paper is not keyed to farming. Do not read A-B-C as agri-business climate.

  2. B

    Communication

    Communication is a letter-play on ‘ABC’ as alphabets or broadcasting. It is not the official sector. The acronym trap fails.

  3. C

    Health

    Health programmes use many letter indices, yet this row does not key ABC Index to health. Nutrition or immunisation guesses are not the stored field.

  4. D

    Education

    (d) Official key: The Government of India’s ABC Index is keyed here to education. Among agriculture, communication, health and education, the stored association is education. Honour that official sector.

Summary. Official key is (d). ABC Index announced by the Government of India is officially tied to education on this paper. Agriculture, communication and health are neighbouring social-sector guesses. Keep education. The official letter is (d).
