Answer 1

The correct option is D 1 and 4

On April 29, 1954, Panchsheel, or the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence, were first formally enunciated in the Agreement on Trade and Intercourse between the Tibet region of China and India. In its preamble, it stated that the two governments have resolved to enter into the present Agreement based on the following principles:- (i). Mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty (ii). Mutual non-aggression (iii). Mutual non-interference (iv). Equality and mutual benefit (v). Peaceful co-existence. So only statements 1 and 4 are true.
