Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Extreme right

​The correct answer is Extreme right.

• As per the flag code of India 2002, the position of the Indian flag when it is displayed along with flags of other countries in a straight line is Extreme right.
• According to the flag code of India 2002, the general rule is that the Indian flag should be the starting point of all flags. When flags are placed in a straight line, the rightmost flag is the Indian flag, followed by other national flags in alphabetical order.
• When placed in a circle, the Indian flag is the first point and is followed by other flags alphabetically.
• When placed on crossed poles, the Indian flag should be in front of the other flag, and to the right (observer's left) of the other flag.
• The only exception to the preceding rule is when it is flown along with the flag of the United Nations, which may be placed to the right of the Indian flag.

• The Flag Code of India, 2002, took effect from 26 January 2002 and superseded the "Flag Code-India" as it existed earlier.
• The Flag Code of India has been divided into three parts:-

1. First Part: General Description of the National Flag.
2. Second Part: Display of the National Flag by members of the public, private Organisations & educational institutions, etc.
3. Third Part: Display of National Flag by Union or State Governments and their organisations and agencies.

• As per the flag code of India, 2002 all other flags should be of approximately the same size with no other flag being larger than the Indian flag.
