Explanation

The correct pairing is VSSC with launch-vehicle development, URSC with satellite design and development, and SDSC SHAR with launch-base infrastructure. Pairings that give satellite work to VSSC, launch-base infrastructure to URSC, or launch-vehicle development to SDSC SHAR reverse the FAQ's stated institutional roles.

Explanation

Sir Harcourt Butler is the named founder of the Indian Research Fund Association on 15 November 1911. Sir Robert McCarrison is linked with the later Beri-Beri Enquiry, Sir Ronald Ross is a malaria researcher rather than the founder of this association, and Sir C. V. Raman is associated with physics, not this medical-research body.

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct. CSIR NIO is headquartered at Dona Paula, Goa and is a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research focused on marine and oceanographic research. Statement 2 is incorrect because NIO is dedicated to oceanographic and marine sciences, not atmospheric research, and it is not part of the IMD.

Explanation

The Assertion is true because ICMR is identified as India's apex body for the formulation, coordination and promotion of biomedical research. The Reason is also true because the institution was established in 1911. The year of establishment, however, does not by itself explain why ICMR is the apex biomedical research body; it is a separate factual attribute.

Explanation

CSIR's network is given as 37 national laboratories, 39 outreach centres, one innovation complex and three units. Swapping the laboratory and outreach-centre counts, changing the innovation-complex count to three, or reducing the units to two all contradict that stated network profile.
