Indian Rocket Startup Secures $51 Million Funding
The question asks to identify the Indian rocket startup that recently raised $51 million in a funding round led by Singapore's sovereign investor GIC. This funding is intended to help the startup begin commercial satellite launches by the middle of the following year.
Let's examine the provided options:
- Asteria Aerospace
- Hampson Industries
- Skyroot Aerospace
- Aadyah Aerospace
- Newtech Aerospace
Based on recent news and reports concerning funding in the Indian aerospace sector, the startup that matches the description in the question, having raised $51 million in a funding round led by GIC for commercial launch plans, is Skyroot Aerospace.
Skyroot Aerospace is an Indian private aerospace company developing and launching space launch vehicles. The funding mentioned is a significant step for the company towards achieving its goal of offering commercial satellite launch services.
Therefore, the correct answer is Skyroot Aerospace.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 20 m high building with a speed of 12 m/s. It hits the ground at a distance R from the building. Taking g = 10 m/s2 and neglecting air resistance will give :
A sphere of volume V is made of a material with lower density than water. While on Earth, it floats on water with its volume f1V (f1 < 1) submerged. On the other hand, on a spaceship accelerating with acceleration a < g (g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) in outer space, its submerged volume in water is f2V. Then:
A railway wagon (open at the top) of mass M1 is moving with speed v1 along a straight track. As a result of rain, after some time it gets partially filled with water so that the mass of the wagon becomes M2 and speed becomes v2. Taking the rain to be falling vertically and the water stationery inside the wagon, the relation between the two speeds v1 and v2 is :
Consider the following statements:
1. Distance between the longitudes becomes zero on North Pole and South Pole.
2. Distance between the longitudes is maximum on the Equator.
3. Number of longitudes is more than number of latitudes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
One block of 2⋅0 kg mass is placed on top of another block of 3⋅0 kg mass. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0⋅2. The bottom block is pulled with a horizontal force F such that both the blocks move together without slipping. Taking acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2, the maximum value of the frictional force is :
