Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct. India's share in global services exports has more than doubled, rising from 1.9 percent in 2005 to approximately 4.3 percent in 2023. This growth reflects India's emergence as a major services hub, with exports reaching nearly $340 billion in 2023. Statement 2 is incorrect. While India holds a significant global share in certain service categories, the 10.2 percent share specifically refers to 'Telecommunications, Computer, and Information Services' (IT services), not 'Travel' [2]. In contrast, 'Travel' and 'Transport' services are not the areas where India holds its largest global market shares; travel services actually grew at the slowest pace among India's service exports over the last 18 years. Therefore, only the second statement is incorrect.
