Zero mK India Private Limited, the start-up that will develop the dilution refrigerator with DRDO, is based in which state?
- A.Gujarat
- B.Rajasthan
- C.Telangana
- D.Kerala
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rajasthan. The release places Zero mK India Private Limited at Alwar in Rajasthan, and the agreement itself was signed in New Delhi between the Director of the Technology Development Fund and the start-up. The other three states are plausible guesses because each hosts a strong electronics or space cluster, but none of them figures in this agreement. Gujarat in option A is not mentioned anywhere in the announcement. Telangana in option C is home to several defence and aerospace units, yet the start-up named here is not based there. Kerala in option D is likewise absent from the release. Candidates should tie the start-up to Alwar, Rajasthan, the product to a 20 mK dilution refrigerator for quantum applications, and the mentoring laboratory to the Solid State Physics Laboratory.
