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.
