Consider the following statements:1.Ballistic missiles are jet-propelled at subsonic speeds throughout their flights, while cruise missiles are rocket- powered only in the initial phase of flight.2.Agni-V is a medium- range supersonic cruise missile, while BrahMos is a solid- fuelled intercontinental ballistic missile.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. A

   1 Only

   1 only. Statement 1 reverses ballistic and cruise propulsion.

2. B

   2 Only

   2 only. Agni-V is a solid-fuel ballistic missile, not a cruise missile; BrahMos is a ramjet cruise missile, not an ICBM.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Both. Each sentence is inverted.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Neither. Ballistic missiles are rocket-boosted then coast; cruise missiles are jet-powered for most of the flight. Agni-V ≠ cruise; BrahMos ≠ ICBM.

Summary. Official key is (d) neither. A ballistic missile is rocket-powered in boost and then follows a ballistic arc; a cruise missile is typically jet-propelled and guided in the atmosphere. Agni-V is an Indian long-range ballistic missile; BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile. Both statements swap the families.
