Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. On 8 April 1929 Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw bombs in the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi (now Parliament of India) when a budget session was in progress. The bombs were deliberately thrown to make noise not kill. They showered leaflets and shouted 'Inquilab Zindabad.' Both then surrendered. The act was meant to make the deaf hear. The answer turns on the exact role assigned in “The Central Legislative Assembly established under the Government of India Act 1919 was the scene of which famous revolutionary act in 1929?”. Evidence connecting Bomb thrown by Bhagat For statement two, the supported answer is Training national missionaries for the service of India. The Servants of India Society was founded by Gopal Krishna Gokhale in 1905 in Pune. Its members took an oath of lifetime service to India dedicated their lives to national service and received only modest stipends. Gandhi considered Gokhale his political mentor. Here Training national missionaries for the service of India fits the complete historical coordinates supplied by “The Servants of India Society founded by Gokhale in 1905 was dedicated to which goal?”—the relevant actor, moment and outcome must all agree. This development forms part of the changing national movement, in which constitutional negotiation, mass Therefore the correct ordered pair is Bomb thrown by Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt followed by Training national missionaries for the service of India. An option containing only one correct component must be rejected because the stem asks for a complete two-part match. This format strengthens chronology, role discrimination and careful option comparison rather than rewarding recognition of a single familiar name.

  • The first verified component is Bomb thrown by Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt.
  • The second verified component is Training national missionaries for the service of India.
  • The ordered answer is Bomb thrown by Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt followed by Training national missionaries for the service of India.
  • Any pair omitting Bomb thrown by Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt or Training national missionaries for the service of India is incomplete.
  • Revise Bomb thrown by Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt and Training national missionaries for the service of India from both cited references.
