Show answer
Answer: A. Statement I is not correct: the National Rail Plan aims to create a 'future ready' railway system by 2030, not 2028. Statement II is not correct: Kavach is an indigenous system developed by RDSO with Indian industry, not with Germany. Statement III is correct: Kavach uses RFID tags fitted on the track in station sections. So I and II are the incorrect ones.
Watch for: The question asks for statements that are NOT correct, and swaps the year 2030 for 2028.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Statement III is correct, so it should not be in the 'not correct' list.
- C. Statement III is correct, and Statement II is wrong, so this pair is wrong.
- D. Statement III is correct, so not all three are incorrect.
