Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to India’s foreign trade structure in 2024–25, consider the following statements:
- India’s invisible trade surplus exceeded its visible trade deficit.
- India’s service exports were higher than China’s service exports in the same year.
- India’s remittances were lower than its merchandise exports.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: India’s goods trade deficit in 2024–25 was $287.2 billion, while the net invisible surplus (services + remittances) was $263.8 billion. Though slightly less than the trade deficit, invisibles largely offset the merchandise deficit, allowing a low CAD of $23.4 billion.
- Statement 2 is correct: India’s services exports were $387.5 billion, which were higher than China’s ($384 billion).
Statement 3 is incorrect: India’s remittances were $135.4 billion, whereas merchandise exports stood at $441.8 billion — so remittances were lower than merchandise exports, but that’s not an unexpected trend.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement I: The proposed 500% US tariff on imports from countries trading with Russia could significantly affect India’s export-oriented sectors.
Statement II: Indian industries like pharmaceuticals, gems &jewelry, textiles, and IT services have high export dependence on the US market.
Statement III: India’s heavy dependence on Russia for defense and energy imports makes sudden disengagement strategically and economically difficult.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
- Statement Iis correct: A 500% tariff on countries continuing trade with Russia could cripple Indian exports to the US by making them economically unviable, especially in labor-intensive, price-sensitive sectors like textiles, jewelry, and generic drugs.
- Statement II is correct: India’s export-driven sectors like pharmaceuticals, IT services, gems and jewelry, and textiles are heavily reliant on the US market for revenue, and would be among the first to suffer from such tariffs.
- Statement III is also correct: India maintains deep strategic ties with Russia, particularly in defense (e.g., S-400, submarines) and energy (cheap oil and nuclear cooperation). Cutting ties abruptly would compromise India’s security and energy security.
- Together:
- Statement II explains why the proposed US tariff could directly affect Indian exports (economic impact).
Statement III explains the strategic constraints India faces in realigning away from Russia due to its dependence in key sectors.
