    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:
    Both the statements are correct. 
    The term ‘round-tripping’ is self-explanatory. It denotes a trip where a person or thing returns to the place from where the journey began. In the context of black money, it leaves the country through various channels such as inflated invoices, payments to shell companies overseas, the hawala route and so on. After cooling its heels overseas for a while, this money returns in a freshly laundered form; thus completing a round-trip.
    Treaty shopping is considered to be a means of tax avoidance. The bilateral tax treaties are done to reciprocate the benefits between the residents of two countries but when someone from a third country invests in any of them just for the sake of avoiding tax and derives the benefits of low taxation, this is termed as treaty shopping.
