The Flag of the UN carries two pairs of olive tree branches 3. The ASEAN flag carries blue, red, white and yellow colours How many of the above statements is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the European Union flag features a circle of 12 gold stars on a blue background, not a white one. Statement 2 is correct; the United Nations flag consists of a world map surrounded by a pair of crossed olive tree branches, which signifies world peace [2]. Statement 3 is also correct; the ASEAN flag incorporates four colors: blue (representing peace and stability), red (courage and dynamism), white (purity), and yellow (prosperity). The flag also features ten yellow stalks of rice (padi) within a red circle on a blue field [3]. Since statements 2 and 3 are correct, the total number of correct statements is two.
