Question

Given below are two statements :

Statement-I : Pakistan formed an elected government under the leadership of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto which lasted from 1971 to 1977.

Statement-II : The Zulfikar Ali Bhutto government was removed by General Pervez Musharraf in 1977.

• A. Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
• B. Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
• C. Statement-I is true, but Statement-II is false.
• D. Statement-I is false, but Statement-II is true.

Hint:

Bhutto governed from 1971 to 1977 and was removed by General Zia-ul-Haq, not Musharraf.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the question:
We test two statements about Pakistan under Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and decide which are true.

Step 2: Check Statement-I:
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto led the Pakistan Peoples Party. After the 1971 war and the break-up of Pakistan he formed an elected government.
His government ran from 1971 to 1977, so Statement-I is TRUE.

Step 3: Check Statement-II:
In 1977 Bhutto was removed by General Zia-ul-Haq, who imposed military rule. General Pervez Musharraf took power later, in 1999.
So naming Musharraf for 1977 is a mistake. Statement-II is FALSE.

Step 4: Check each option:
(A) Both true. Wrong, because II is false.
(B) Both false. Wrong, because I is true.
(C) I true, II false. This is CORRECT.
(D) I false, II true. Wrong, because it reverses the facts.

Final Answer:
Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false, so the answer is option (C). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (C)}} \]
