Question

Match List-I with List-II

List-I	List-II
(United Nations Secretaries-General)	(Contributions)
(A) Boutros Boutros-Ghali	(I) Established the Human Rights Council
(B) Ban Ki-moon	(II) Issued a report, An Agenda for Peace
(C) Dag Hammarskjöld	(III) Resolved the Suez Canal dispute
(D) Kofi A. Annan	(IV) Worked for the creation of UN Women

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)

Hint:

The Suez Canal crisis was in 1956, which was in Hammarskjold's term. Use that to eliminate options.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Plan
Instead of going down List-I one by one, begin with the easiest fixed points in the table and then use elimination on the four options.

Step 2: Use the time order
The Suez crisis happened in 1956. Only one of the four Secretaries-General served in 1956, which is Dag Hammarskjold. So (C) must go with (III). Any option that shows (C) with something else is wrong.

Step 3: Apply to the options
Option 2 has (C)-(IV), option 3 has (C)-(I) and option 4 has (C)-(IV). Only option 1 has (C)-(III). So option 1 survives at this point.

Step 4: Cross-check (A)
An Agenda for Peace was written in 1992. That is the term of Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Option 1 has (A)-(II), which agrees.

Step 5: Cross-check (B) and (D)
UN Women was formed in 2010 under Ban Ki-moon. The Human Rights Council was created in 2006 in the Kofi Annan years. Option 1 has (B)-(IV) and (D)-(I), which agree with both facts.

Step 6: Conclude
All four pairs in option 1 agree with the facts. The other options fail on at least the Suez link.

Final Answer:
Option 1 is the only combination in which all four pairs are correct. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
