Question

Arrange the following social reformers in chronological order: \[ \text{A. Narayan Guru} \] \[ \text{B. Periyar} \] \[ \text{C. Ambedkar} \] \[ \text{D. Phule} \]

• A. A, B, D, C
• B. B, A, D, C
• C. D, B, C, A
• D. D, A, B, C

Hint:

Social reformer chronology: \[ Phule \rightarrow Narayan\ Guru \rightarrow Periyar \rightarrow Ambedkar \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Chronological order means arranging persons from earlier to later.

Step 1: Identify the earliest reformer.
Jyotiba Phule belongs to the earliest period among the given reformers. So: \[ D = \text{Phule} \]

Step 2: Place Narayan Guru.
Narayan Guru came after Phule. So: \[ A = \text{Narayan Guru} \]

Step 3: Place Periyar.
Periyar came after Narayan Guru. So: \[ B = \text{Periyar} \]

Step 4: Place Ambedkar last.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar belongs to the later period among these reformers. So: \[ C = \text{Ambedkar} \] Thus, the correct order is: \[ D \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(D) D, A, B, C}} \]
