At how many locations is the first season of Akashvani’s AIR Rising Stars concert series being held?
- A.18
- B.22
- C.26
- D.34
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 26. The first season of AIR Rising Stars is being organised by 26 participating Akashvani stations, which include Delhi, Shimla, Jammu, Dehradun, Lucknow, Varanasi, Rampur, Jaipur, Suratgarh, Jalandhar, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Sangli, Nagpur, Dharwad, Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, Puducherry, Thiruvananthapuram, Kolkata, Guwahati and Imphal. Each of these stations holds one concert at a venue of its own choice between 17 and 30 November 2026, so the number of locations matches the number of concerts in the season. Options A, B and D are wrong because the series does not stop at 18 or 22 stations, nor does it stretch to 34; the figure announced for the inaugural season is exactly 26. The same 26 stations also carry the performances on their YouTube channels, which is how the views that decide the cash prizes are counted. Candidates should remember both the number of stations and the window of dates, since questions often pair the two.
