Question

Match the Leaders in Column 'A' with the Facts listed in Column 'B' correctly.

• A. 1-(iii), 2-(iv), 3-(ii), 4-(i)
• B. 1-(ii), 2-(iv), 3-(iii), 4-(i)
• C. 1-(ii), 2-(iii), 3-(iv), 4-(i)
• D. 1-(iv), 2-(iii), 3-(i), 4-(ii)

Hint:

Matching even one highly distinct pair (such as Jawaharlal Nehru with his legendary speech “Tryst with Destiny”) can instantly help you eliminate multiple incorrect options!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Analyzing the Associations of Column A:
Let us systematically match each leader in Column A with their historical fact in Column B:
• Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel: He was a towering national leader, India's first Home Minister, and played a legendary role in integrating the princely states. He was also appointed as India's First Deputy Prime Minister. Hence, 1 matches (ii).
• Bodhchandra Singh: He was the ruling Maharaja of the princely state of Manipur at the time of India's independence. He signed the Instrument of Accession with the Indian Union in 1947. Hence, 2 matches (iv).
• Potti Sriramulu: A dedicated Gandhian activist, Sriramulu undertook a fatal fast-unto-death for 56 days, demanding a separate state of Andhra for Telugu-speaking people, which was a core demand of the Vishalandhra Movement. Hence, 3 matches (iii).
• Jawaharlal Nehru: As the first Prime Minister of independent India, he delivered the historic “Tryst with Destiny” speech to the Indian Constituent Assembly on the midnight of August 14--15, 1947. Hence, 4 matches (i).

Step 2: Verifying the Matches:
Synthesizing the matches gives: 1-(ii), 2-(iv), 3-(iii), 4-(i). This corresponds exactly to Option (B).
