Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Statement 1 is incorrect: the National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS) is located in Pune, not Mysore [1]. Statement 2 is correct: the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) is in Hyderabad [1]. Statement 3 is correct: the National Brain Research Centre (NBRC) is located at Manesar, Gurgaon (Haryana) [2].

The corroborating sources explicitly list NCCS as Pune and identify CDFD and NBRC at Hyderabad and Manesar/Gurgaon respectively [2].
