General KnowledgeDefence and Security
- AIndia does not have a Chief of Defence Staff.
- BIndia does not have a Permanent Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee.
- CIndia has a Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee who functions as Chief of the Defence Staff.
- DIndia has a Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee who does not function as Chief of the Defence Staff.
Explanation
In 2015 India had no Chief of Defence Staff and no Permanent Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee; the senior-most Service Chief acted as Chairman without functioning as CDS — so A, B and D were true. Statement C, claiming a Chairman who functions as Chief of the Defence Staff, was therefore the incorrect one. (The CDS post was created only in 2019.)
