Which one of the following statements is correct?

A) The rank of Second Lieutenant has been abolished. B) The Chief of Army Staff carries the rank of Field Marshal.
C) All officers posted to Andaman and Nicobar Islands wear the ranks of the Indian Navy. D) The rank of Major General is higher than the rank of Lieutenant General.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) The rank of Second Lieutenant has been abolished.

The rank of 2nd Lieutenant/Act. Sub Lieutenant/Pilot Officer were removed because the salary of the officers holding these ranks were less compared to senior Non-Commissioned Officers i.e Subedar Major in army, Master Warrant Officer in air force and Master Chief Petty Officer -1st Class in navy.

Rest of the statements are incorrect.In modern armies, lieutenant general normally ranks immediately below general and above major general; it is equivalent to the navy rank of vice admiral, and in air forces with a separate rank structure, it is equivalent to air marshal.
