Consider the following statements: 1. Mirage 2000 is a twin-engine fighter jet. 2. HAL Tejas is a delta-winged fighter jet. 3. Rafale is a hypersonic fighter jet. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Dassault Mirage 2000 is a single-engine delta-wing fighter jet, not a twin-engine aircraft [1]. Statement 2 is correct as the HAL Tejas is an indigenous, single-engine, delta-winged Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) designed for the Indian Air Force. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Dassault Rafale is a supersonic multirole fighter capable of reaching speeds around Mach 1.8, rather than hypersonic speeds (which exceed Mach 5). The Rafale is characterized by its twin-engine, canard-delta wing configuration. Therefore, only statement 2 is accurate regarding the technical specifications of these fighter aircraft.
