General KnowledgeCurrent Affairs
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Statement 1 is wrongly framed: India recognised Bangladesh on 6 December 1971 — after independence had been declared (26 March 1971) and months into the liberation war, not ‘even before’ the liberation. Statement 2 is correct: during PM Modi’s March 2021 Dhaka visit, both countries decided to observe 6 December as Maitri Diwas. Hence 2 only.
