1. A

   1 and 4

   1 and 4. Both rows mismatch Navy/Air ranks.

2. B

   1 and 3

   1 and 3. Brigadier is not Navy Commander; 3 is the only clean row.

3. C

   2, 3 and 4

   2, 3 and 4. Major General is not Vice Admiral; Lt Col is not Group Captain.

4. D

   3 only

   3 only. Major : Squadron Leader : Lieutenant Commander is the matching trio.

Summary. Official key is (d) 3 only. Army Major = IAF Squadron Leader = Navy Lieutenant Commander. Brigadier pairs with Air Commodore and Commodore, not Commander. Major General pairs with Air Vice Marshal and Rear Admiral, not Vice Admiral. Lieutenant Colonel pairs with Wing Commander and Commander, not Group Captain / Captain. So only row 3 is right.
