Question

India’s interim test range to launch missile s is at _____.
A) Sriharikota
B) Bangalore
C) Chandipur
D) Delhi

Answer 1

Hint: AGNI missiles is an intercontinental range of ballistic missiles developed by India. This is named after one of the five elements of nature. Agni missiles are long range and nuclear weapons.

Complete answer:
Agni missile is a solid fuelled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. It will greatly expand India's reach to strike targets more than 5,500 km away.
Types of AGNI missiles India have:
India has four types of land-based, nuclear-capable ballistic missiles that appear to be operational: the short-range Prithvi-II and Agni-I, the medium-range Agni-II, and the intermediate-range Agni-III. At least two other longer-range Agni missiles are under development: the Agni-IV and Agni-V.
Here we have to identify where the missile was launched.
>Option A) Sriharikota – is an incorrect answer because there is no evidence that missiles were launched from Sriharikota. Thus, we will not consider this as an incorrect answer.
>Option B) Bangalore – is an incorrect answer because the Agni missile was not launched from Bangalore. Though it was launched in India but not in Bangalore. Thus, this is not an incorrect answer.
>Option C) Chandipur – is the correct answer because AGNI: in February in 1994 was successfully tested and test fired from the interim test range at Chandipur on sea near Balasore, Orissa. Thus, this is the correct answer.
>Option D) Delhi – again is an incorrect answer because this is not the right place where the missile was launched. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence option ‘C’ is the correct answer.

Note:In this particular question, we have to answer which city the missile was launched. This is a very direct question, so it is good to have knowledge about the missile in the passage. And read the passage carefully. A major goal of reading comprehension instruction, therefore, is to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and experiences.
