Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Mutual non aggression
B Mutual non interference
D Peaceful co-existence

Panchsheel was signed between India and China in 1954. The first principle was regarding mutual respect for each other's territory and sovereignty. The second was mutual non-aggression. This meant that neither of the two nations would attack or harm each other. The third principle was mutual non-interference. This prevented the nations from interfering in each other's matter unless approached for help. The fourth was equality and cooperation for mutual benefit, and the fifth was to maintain peaceful co-existence.
