Consider the following statements : The India-Africa Summit 1. held in 2015 was the third such Summit 2. was actually initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1951 Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

States India was a staunch supporter of newly independent African nations and that India engaged in high‑level multilateral diplomacy (e.g., Bandung → NAM).

A student could use this to infer India has a pattern of hosting/participating in periodic multilateral summits with African states and therefore check the sequence and dates of India–Africa summits to see if 2015 is the third.

Gives an example that India has hosted major international summits (NAM, Delhi 1983), showing precedent for India convening summit-level meetings.

Use the precedent of India hosting summits to justify searching official records of India‑Africa summits (host years and ordinal numbers) to verify whether 2015 was the third.

Describes India as a leader of the developing world with active roles in international organisations, implying sustained diplomatic engagement with regions like Africa.

Combine this with knowledge that such leadership often involves periodic summits; a student can therefore look up the timeline of India–Africa summit meetings to determine the ordinal number of 2015.

Notes India forges relationships specifically with African countries (e.g., South Africa), indicating targeted bilateral and multilateral engagement with Africa.

A student could use this to justify investigating India–Africa diplomatic initiatives and summit histories (dates/sequence) to judge whether the 2015 meeting was the third.
