Consider the following statements about BRICS Summits : 1. The first BRICS Summit was held in Brazil 2. BRICS Summits were held in New Delhi on three occasions Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the first BRIC Summit was held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, on June 16, 2009 [2]. Brazil hosted the second summit in 2010 [4]. Statement 2 is incorrect because India has hosted the BRICS Summit on three occasions, but only two were associated with New Delhi. India hosted the 4th Summit in New Delhi (2012) [2], the 8th Summit in Goa (2016) [1], and the 13th Summit virtually in 2021, which was presided over from New Delhi [1]. While the 2012 and 2021 summits are linked to New Delhi, the 2016 summit was physically held in Goa [1]. Therefore, the summits were not held in New Delhi on three occasions. Since both statements are false, the correct option is 4.
