Answer 1

The Correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

Statement 1: PraVaHa is indeed a significant achievement developed by the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), a major center of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Hence Statement is Correct.
Statement 2: In the initial stages of designing aerospace vehicles, it's essential to evaluate numerous configurations to ensure optimal aerodynamic performance. PraVaHa facilitates this by simulating both external and internal flows on various launch vehicles, aiding in the assessment of multiple design configurations efficiently. Hence Statement 2 is Correct.
Hence Option 4 is Correct.
