Question

Match commissions/societies with their year of establishment :

• A. A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• C. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
• D. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

Hint:

Do not try to nail every single pairing before checking the options. Confirm one founding year you are completely sure about first, and use it to rule out every option that pairs it wrongly, then repeat with a second confident match to narrow down to the correct choice.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Task:
This question requires matching commissions and societies with their respective years of establishment.

Step 2: Matching Each Item:
(A) Kaka Kalelkar Commission: Also known as the First Backward Classes Commission, it was established in 1953. So, A matches with III.
(B) Brahmo Samaj: Founded by Raja Rammohan Roy, it was established in 1828. So, B matches with II.
(C) Karachi Session of INC: This important session of the Indian National Congress, where the resolution on Fundamental Rights and Economic Policy was passed, took place in 1931. So, C matches with IV.
(D) B.P. Mandal Commission: Also known as the Second Backward Classes Commission, it was established in 1979. However, its report was submitted in 1980, and the implementation of its recommendations (27% reservation) began in 1990. Given the options (I) 1990, (II) 1828, (III) 1953, (IV) 1931, the year 1990 (I) is most significantly associated with the Mandal Commission due to the implementation of its reservation policies. Thus, we match D with I.

Step 3: Assembling the Matches:
A - III (1953)
B - II (1828)
C - IV (1931)
D - I (1990)
This corresponds to A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I.

Step 4: Selecting the Correct Option:
Comparing this with the given options:
Option (1): A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV (Incorrect C and D)
Option (2): A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I (Incorrect A, B, C)
Option (3): A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I (Matches our derived matches)
Option (4): A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV (Incorrect A, C)
Therefore, option (3) is the correct match.

Answer 2

Concept:

• In match-the-following questions with a fixed set of answer options, you do not need to determine every single pairing from scratch - confirming just one or two matches you are fully sure about can eliminate most of the wrong options immediately.
• Working from the option list backward (elimination) is often faster and safer than deriving the full mapping and then searching for it among the choices.

Step 1: Pick the single most certain match and eliminate options that contradict it.
The founding year of Brahmo Samaj, 1828, is widely known, giving the pair B-II. Checking all four options for this pair removes any option where B is not linked to II.

Step 2: Pick a second certain match and eliminate further.
The Kaka Kalelkar Commission, the first Backward Classes Commission, was set up in 1953, giving the pair A-III. Checking the remaining options for this pair narrows the choices down to just two candidates that share both B-II and A-III.

Step 3: Break the tie between the two remaining options using a third match.
The Karachi Session of the Indian National Congress, where the resolution on Fundamental Rights and Economic Policy was passed, took place in 1931, giving the pair C-IV. Only one of the two remaining options carries this exact pair, so it survives while the other is eliminated.

Step 4: Confirm the last pairing by process of elimination.
With A, B and C now fixed, the only year left for D is the one still unused among the four, giving D-I. This matches the recommendations of the B.P. Mandal Commission being carried into effect in that year.

Final Answer: A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
