Q1. Choose the correct statement/statements about ISRO: (I) ISRO built India's first satellite, Aryabhat, which was launched by the USA in 1975. (II) Antrix Corporation is the marketing arm of ISRO. (III) The Master Control Facility of ISRO is situated in Hassan.
Explanation
Statements II and III are the keyed correct set. In the 2022-cycle context, Antrix Corporation is treated as ISRO's marketing arm, and ISRO's Master Control Facility is at Hassan. The statement on Aryabhat is not correct as printed because India's first satellite, Aryabhat, was launched in 1975 by the Soviet Union, not by the USA. Therefore any set including the first statement is rejected. The full set includes that false launch-country claim, and the two mixed sets that combine the first statement with either the second or third also become incorrect.
