Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

BRICS brings together Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, the last of which joined in 2010 and gave the group its final letter. India hosted the fourth summit, and the question asks for the date.

  1. 11th January 2012: Nothing of this kind happened in January. The date is put there simply to fill a slot.
  2. 1st April 2012: This sits just three days after the real date and is meant to catch anyone who remembers only "around the end of March".
  3. 29th March 2012: This is the correct date. The leaders met at the Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, with the theme "BRICS Partnership for Global Stability, Security and Prosperity". They issued the Delhi Declaration and asked their finance ministers to study a BRICS led development bank, an idea that grew into the New Development Bank set up in 2014 with headquarters in Shanghai.
  4. 28th February 2012: Also wrong. February had no BRICS summit.

Option (C) is correct.

Let's summarize:

  • Fourth BRICS summit: New Delhi, 29 March 2012, India's first time as host.
  • It produced the Delhi Declaration and the first serious push for a BRICS development bank.

So the answer is 29th March 2012.
