Consider the following statements regarding the Armed Forces : I. First batch of women pilots was commissioned in Indian Air Force in 1996. II. Officers’ Training Academy is located in Nagpur. III. Southern Command of Indian Navy has its Headquarters at Chennai. IV. One of the Regional Headquarters of Coast Guard is located at Port Blair. Which of these statements are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Only statement IV is correct. Statement I is incorrect — the IAF’s first batch of women trainee pilots were inducted prior to 1999 and flew operationally in the Kargil conflict, so stating 1996 as the commissioning year is not accurate as framed here. Statement II is incorrect — the Officers’ Training Academy is located in Chennai (OTA, Chennai) rather than Nagpur. Statement III is incorrect — the Southern Naval Command’s headquarters is at Kochi (Kerala), not Chennai. Statement IV is correct — the Indian Coast Guard maintains a Regional Headquarters for the Andaman & Nicobar region at Port Blair. Hence, only IV is correct (option 4).
