Last Updated:
A8 October
BNew Delhi
CBallistic missile family
DOperation Meghdoot
Correct Answer: 8 OctoberYour Answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: Option A — **8 October**. **8 October** is the accurate answer because the Indian Air Force was officially established on 8 October 1932. This identifying fact establishes its correct connection with commemorative day and distinguishes it from the other defence-related choices. Why the other options are incorrect: Option B — **New Delhi**: This is actually associated with headquarters; specifically, the Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff functions in the national capital as a tri-service organisation. Option C — **Ballistic missile family**: This is actually associated with strategic missile; specifically, Agni denotes a family of Indian surface-launched ballistic missiles with different ranges. Option D — **Operation Meghdoot**: This is actually associated with military operation; specifically, Operation Meghdoot was launched in April 1984 for control of strategic heights in the Siachen area. Exam Takeaway: Link **8 October** with its exact **commemorative day** association for fast **Indian Defence GK** revision.
Important Notes
- **Identity:** 8 October is associated with commemorative day.
- **Key fact:** the Indian Air Force was officially established on 8 October 1932.
- **Exam trap:** Check whether the question asks about a service, institution, missile role, platform, operation or exercise before choosing a similarly familiar defence term.
