Show answer

Answer: B. The Mangdechhu Hydroelectric Project is in Bhutan. India restored the Stor Palace in Kabul, Afghanistan. India built the District Hospital at Dickoya in Sri Lanka's hill country. India supported the Institute of Security and Law Enforcement Studies in the Maldives. So A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1.

Watch for: Several projects are in neighbouring countries, so students mix up which belongs where.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Wrong because Mangdechhu is in Bhutan, not the Maldives.
  • C. Wrong because the Stor Palace is in Afghanistan and Dickoya is in Sri Lanka.
  • D. Wrong because Mangdechhu is in Bhutan and the Institute is in the Maldives.
