UGC NET 2019 Paper 1 Question Paper (5-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Both I and II

To determine which statements about the International Solar Alliance (ISA) are correct, let's analyze each statement separately:

  1. Statement I: "Most of the member countries in the International Solar Alliance are located between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn."
    • The International Solar Alliance (ISA) was initiated by India and France in 2015 with the aim of promoting solar energy and sustainable development. The ISA primarily aims to facilitate the deployment of solar energy in countries that have high solar insolation, which mostly lie between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Therefore, it is true that most of the member countries of the ISA are situated in this geographical belt.
    • Hence, Statement I is correct.
  2. Statement II: "Japan is a member country of the International Solar Alliance."
    • As of recent updates, Japan has become a member of the ISA, which signifies its commitment to solar energy and sustainable energy initiatives. This aligns with Japan's interest in participating in global renewable energy development protocols.
    • Hence, Statement II is correct.

Thus, based on the above analysis, both statements I and II are correct. This aligns with the provided correct answer option: "Both I and II".

Conclusion: The correct option is Both I and II, since both the statements are accurate regarding the member countries and participation in the International Solar Alliance.
