Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched ?

(Indian Army Corps) : (Headquarters)

Show answer

Answer: D. 33 Corps (Trishakti Corps) is headquartered at Sukna near Siliguri, West Bengal, not Srinagar. The others are correct: 3 Corps at Rangapahar near Dimapur, 4 Corps at Tezpur, and 14 Corps (Fire and Fury) at Leh.

Watch for: Srinagar is a major Army base (15 Corps), so students accept it for 33 Corps.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Wrong because 3 Corps is correctly at Dimapur (Rangapahar).
  • B. Wrong because 4 Corps is correctly at Tezpur.
  • C. Wrong because 14 Corps is correctly at Leh.
