Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Both statements provided in the question are incorrect. The Indian Army is organized into seven commands, not five. These include six operational commands (Northern, Western, Eastern, Southern, South Western, and Central) and one training command (ARTRAC) [1]. Specifically, the Headquarters of the Northern Command is located at Udhampur in Jammu & Kashmir, not Lucknow [1]. The Headquarters of the Central Command is the one located at Lucknow [1]. Each command is led by a General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) with the rank of Lieutenant General [1]. Additionally, India maintains tri-service commands such as the Andaman and Nicobar Command and the Strategic Forces Command to ensure integrated defense operations [1]. Therefore, since the Indian Army has seven commands and the Northern Command is based in Udhampur, neither statement 1 nor 2 is correct.
