Last Updated:

This advanced paired MCQ combines two separately verified Modern History facts. The first component resolves to 1927, while the second resolves to Mahatma Gandhi. Candidates must preserve the order stated in the stem and reject distractors that contain only one correct element.

A1935 | Mahatma Gandhi
B1935 | Jawaharlal Nehru
C1927 | Mahatma Gandhi
D1927 | Jawaharlal Nehru
Correct Answer: 1927 | Mahatma GandhiYour Answer: C

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. The All India Women's Conference (AIWC) was founded in 1927 at Poona by a group of women including Margaret Cousins and Rajkumari Amrit Kaur. The AIWC focused on women's issues like education welfare and legal rights. It lobbied for the abolition of child marriage Purdah system and women's right to vote. Reading the stem closely separates 1927 from other names in the period: the question tests one defined act, location or institutional decision, not overall prominence. This development forms part of the changing national movement, in which constitutional negotiation, mass mobilisation, boycott, civil disobedience and For statement two, the supported answer is Mahatma Gandhi. The Second Round Table Conference was held in London from September to December 1931. Mahatma Gandhi attended as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. The conference failed to reach an agreement mainly due to the communal issue and the Congress's demand for independence. The wording of “The Second Round Table Conference (1931) had which significant participant from India?” makes Mahatma Gandhi decisive because the stem combines a particular date, place and political consequence rather than asking for a loose association. This development forms part of the changing national movement, Therefore the correct ordered pair is 1927 followed by Mahatma Gandhi. An option containing only one correct component must be rejected because the stem asks for a complete two-part match.

Important Notes

  • The first verified component is 1927.
  • The second verified component is Mahatma Gandhi.
  • The ordered answer is 1927 followed by Mahatma Gandhi.
  • Any pair omitting 1927 or Mahatma Gandhi is incomplete.
  • Revise 1927 and Mahatma Gandhi from both cited references.
