On May .................. .............. 1998, India carried out series of nuclear tests at Pokhran.
11th & 13th May
In May 1998 India conducted its second series of nuclear tests at the Pokhran range in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, code-named Operation Shakti. The first test at the same site, the Smiling Buddha device, had been exploded on 18 May 1974.
On 11 May 1998 three devices were detonated together, including a thermonuclear (fusion) device and a fission device, and on 13 May 1998 two further low-yield sub-kiloton devices were tested. After the five explosions Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee declared India a nuclear weapon state and announced a voluntary moratorium on further testing. India marks 11 May as National Technology Day in memory of the first day of the tests.
The other date pairs do not match the record. 7th and 8th May and 9th and 11th May place the tests before or only partly on the real dates, and 21st and 23rd May comes after the series had already ended; Pakistan replied with its own Chagai tests on 28 and 30 May 1998. None of them describes the Pokhran-II series.
11th & 13th May option is correct.
