• B. (D), (B), (C), (A)
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C)
• D. (D), (C), (B), (A)

Hint:

Aryabhatta 1975, INSAT-1A 1982, Chandrayaan-1 2008, Mangalyaan 2013.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We must put the four missions in the order of their launch year, oldest first.

Step 2: Recall launch years:
Aryabhatta was launched in 1975 and was India's first satellite. INSAT-1A was launched in 1982. Chandrayaan-1 was launched in 2008. Mangalyaan (Mars Orbiter Mission) was launched in 2013.

Step 3: Arrange in order.
1975 (D), 1982 (B), 2008 (C), 2013 (A). So the sequence is (D), (B), (C), (A).

Step 4: Check the options.
Option 1 starts with Mangalyaan, which is the latest, so it is wrong. Option 3 starts with INSAT 1A, so it is wrong. Option 4 puts Chandrayaan-1 before INSAT 1A, which is wrong. Option 2 matches.

Final Answer:
The order is Aryabhatta, INSAT-1A, Chandrayaan-1, Mangalyaan. This is option 2. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 2}} \]
