खालील वाक्ये बघा :
(a) फिक्की ही भारतातील सर्वात मोठी आणि सर्वात जुनी व्यापार उदीम संघटना आहे.
(b) फिक्की ही वाणिज्य आणि उद्योग मंत्रालया-अंतर्गत स्थापन केली आहे.
वरील वाक्यांपैकी कोणते / कोणती बरोबर आहे/आहेत ?
(1) फक्त (a)
(2) फक्त (b)
(3) (a) आणि (b) दोन्ही
(4) (a) ही नाही आणि (b) ही नाही

The correct answer is Option D (Neither (a) nor (b)).

Key Points:
• Business Pressure Groups - Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI):
• Statement (a) is INCORRECT (As per MPSC Key): While FICCI (established in 1927) is the largest national apex business organization, it is NOT the oldest. The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) was established earlier in 1920, and regional chambers like the Bombay Chamber of Commerce (1836) and Bengal Chamber (1853) are even older.
• Statement (b) is INCORRECT: FICCI is a non-governmental, not-for-profit apex industry association (private pressure group) established on the advice of Mahatma Gandhi by G.D. Birla and Purshottamdas Thakurdas. It was NOT established under any government ministry.
• Therefore, neither statement is correct (Option 4).
• Key Takeaway: FICCI is a non-governmental apex business association founded in 1927; ASSOCHAM (1920) predates it, and it is not under any ministry.
