Question

Which of the following is not a member of SAARC?

• A. Bhutan
• B. Bangladesh
• C. Burma (Myanmar)
• D. Maldives

Hint:

Myanmar (Burma) belongs to ASEAN, not SAARC.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

SAARC has a fixed, well-known list of South Asian member countries, so the task is to spot the one country here that belongs to a different regional grouping.

1. Bhutan: A founding SAARC member.
2. Bangladesh: Also a founding SAARC member.
3. Burma (Myanmar): Geographically part of Southeast Asia and a member of ASEAN, not SAARC.
4. Maldives: A founding SAARC member as well.

So the correct answer is option C, Burma.
