Question

Read the following statements carefully: 
Statement 1: Economic territory and political frontier of a nation are one and the same thing. 
Statement 2: American Embassy in India is a part of the economic territory of India.

• A. Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.
• B. Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.
• C. Both statements 1 and 2 are true.
• D. Both statements 1 and 2 are false.

Hint:

Economic territory often overlaps with political boundaries but includes embassies and consulates abroad while excluding foreign embassies within a nation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Statement 1: Economic territory and political frontier of a nation are not necessarily the same. While they overlap in most cases, economic territory includes embassies abroad and excludes foreign embassies within the nation's borders. Hence, Statement 1 is false.
Statement 2: The American Embassy in India is not part of India's economic territory; it is considered part of the United States' economic territory. Therefore, Statement 2 is also false.
Thus, the correct answer is \( (D) \), as both statements are false.
