What is the abbreviation of the World Health Organization?
Correct answer: B
The abbreviation of the World Health Organization is WHO. Exam tip: remember it as the global health agency.
What is the abbreviation of the Food and Agriculture Organization?
Correct answer: C
The Food and Agriculture Organization is a specialized agency connected with the United Nations system. Its name points to its broad area of work: improving food and agriculture, supporting better nutrition, sharing knowledge, and helping countries address hunger and related rural challenges. The standard abbreviation is formed from the important English words Food and Agriculture Organization: F-A-O. In ordinary usage, it is written as FAO rather than as a Hindi abbreviation.
Option C is correct because FAO is the recognized abbreviation of the Food and Agriculture Organization. UNHCR is associated with refugees, UNESCO with education, science, and culture, and WTO with international trade. These organizations have different purposes, so the words in the full name provide a useful memory aid. The supplied answer is clear and factually correct.
ILO is mainly connected with the interests of which group?
Correct answer: A
The direct answer is A, workers and labourers. ILO stands for International Labour Organization. It works mainly on labour rights, decent work, safe and fair working conditions, social protection and cooperation among governments, employers and workers. The reasoning is direct: the word Labour in the name points to people who work and to employment conditions. Option A is correct because workers and labourers are the central group connected with the ILO’s mission. Option B, kings and queens, is unrelated to its specialised purpose. Option C, pirates, is not a labour organisation’s main group. Option D, sports spectators, are not the focus, even though some sports workers may have employment rights. The ILO may work with governments and employers too, but its central subject remains work and workers. Memory cue: ILO means international labour rights.
UNHCR's work is related to helping which people?
Correct answer: A
UNHCR is related to assistance and protection of refugees. Exam tip: connect it with displacement and asylum.
UN peacekeepers are often recognized by helmets or berets of which colour?
Correct answer: B
UN peacekeepers are recognized by blue helmets or berets. Exam tip: connect the colour blue with UN peace missions.
What is the aim of UN peacekeeping in a conflict area?
Correct answer: A
Peacekeeping missions help peace and stability in conflict areas. Exam tip: also connect it with the Security Council.
Veto power in the United Nations is related to what?
Correct answer: A
Veto power is linked with the permanent members of the Security Council. Exam tip: understand veto as a power to block a decision.
How is the vote of small and large countries treated in the UN General Assembly?
Correct answer: A
Direct answer: Option A, one country one vote. In the UN General Assembly, each member state has one vote, regardless of whether it is geographically large, small, highly populated, or less populated. The reasoning is: the General Assembly is based on the formal sovereign equality of member states; therefore voting is not weighted by population or physical size. Option A is correct because it states this equal-vote principle. Option B is wrong because small countries also have voting rights. Option C is wrong because large countries are not excluded. Option D is wrong because the Assembly does not give a country one hundred votes according to population. This rule is different from the Security Council, where permanent members have special veto power on substantive matters. Memory cue: General Assembly equality = one member state, one vote.
Which is the largest forum for discussion among UN member countries?

The General Assembly is the largest discussion forum of the UN. Exam tip: understand it as the assembly of all member countries.

In the UN system the World Bank is considered what type of institution?
Correct answer: B
The World Bank is linked with development and financial assistance. Exam tip: connect it with poverty reduction and development projects.
IMF is mainly connected with which field?
Correct answer: C
The direct answer is C, international finance. IMF stands for International Monetary Fund. It supports international monetary cooperation, financial stability, balance-of-payments assistance and economic policy discussion among countries. It may provide loans or advice under conditions, but it is not a health, military or cultural organisation. The reasoning is based on its purpose: monetary and financial problems cross national borders, so countries cooperate through the IMF. Option C is correct because international finance and economic stability are its central fields. Option A, health, is mainly associated with organisations such as WHO, not the IMF. Option B, military training, is unrelated to the IMF’s mandate. Option D, cultural heritage, belongs to a different area, often associated with UNESCO and similar bodies. Exam cue: IMF contains “Monetary Fund”; connect it with money, finance and economic stability.
