Of the soldiers buried or commemorated at the Heliopolis War Cemetery in Cairo, how many are Indian?
- A.1,700
- B.2,000
- C.3,727
- D.4,000
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 3,727. The Heliopolis War Cemetery in Cairo holds or commemorates 4,000 soldiers in all, and 3,727 of them are Indian, which is why option D names the total rather than the Indian count. Of the Indian soldiers, nearly 2,000 died in the First World War and around 1,700 in the Second World War, so options A and B pick out the two war-wise figures instead of the full number. Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal paid homage at the cemetery at the start of his Cairo visit on 14 November 2026, before the 7th Session of the India-Egypt Joint Trade Committee. Figures of this kind are favourite question material because each of the four numbers appears in the same passage.
