Q. 10 Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow –
It is difficult to compare countries because various factors such as size, culture, history, geography, natural
endowments, geopolitics and internal polity come into play. There are some goals which can be achieved by
smaller countries; but sometimes smaller countries find it difficult to embark upon certain big technological
plans even if they have the funds, because the size of the domestic market is too small. If we consider the
bigger countries, the closest comparison to India is China, though there are many crucial differences.
The Chinese vision is to prepare the country for entry into the ranks of mid-level developed nations
by the middle of the twenty-first century. Acceleration of the nation's economic growth and social
development by relying on advances in science and technology is pivotal in this.
a) Why comparison between two countries becomes difficult?

b) What is the goal of China to be accomplished by the middle of 21st century?
