Q1With reference to the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), consider the following statements:\n1. The NSM was launched in 2015 with an outlay of Rs 4,500 crore.\n2. The indigenous PARAM Rudra series of supercomputers has a combined capacity of 152 petaflops.\nWhich of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: the National Supercomputing Mission was launched in 2015 with an outlay of Rs 4,500 crore. Statement 2 is incorrect: under the NSM, India has deployed 38 supercomputers with a combined capacity of 47 petaflops (not 152); PARAM Rudra is indeed the indigenous series, but the 47 petaflops figure relates to the deployed supercomputers. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
