Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the question:
We must match four leaders of 1857 with their associations. We use facts from the chapter on the Revolt of 1857

Step 2: Match Danka Shah:
Danka Shah is the name used for Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah of Faizabad. He fought the British at the Battle of Chinhat near Lucknow. So A matches III

Step 3: Match Nana Sahib:
Nana Sahib was the adopted son and successor of the last Peshwa, Baji Rao II. He led the revolt at Kanpur. So B matches I

Step 4: Match Kunwar Singh:
Kunwar Singh was a local zamindar of Jagdishpur near Arrah in Bihar. He led rebels there despite his old age. So C matches II

Step 5: Match Rani Lakshmi Bai:
The Rani of Jhansi was killed in battle in June 1858 while fighting the British near Gwalior. So D matches IV

Step 6: Check the options:
The set is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV. Option 1 pairs A with I and is wrong. Option 3 pairs A with IV and is wrong. Option 4 pairs B with IV and is wrong. Only option 2 is right

Final Answer:
The correct match is A - III, B - I, C - II, D - IV. The correct option is 2.
