Answer 2

The type of fuel is used by GSLV in its operations is (d) Solid in the first stage and liquid in the second stage​.

• GSLV that stands for Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle is an expendable release system controlled by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
• It is a three-stage rocket.
• The first stage uses solid fuel, the second stage uses liquid fuel and the third stage uses gaseous fuel (stored in cryogenic conditions).
• The fuel consists of hydrogen and oxygen in a definite ratio.
• This three-stage process increases the efficiency of the fuel burnt.
