Consider the following two Modern History questions: (1) The First Five Year Plan of India was launched in which year? (2) The famous 'Quit India' resolution was moved in the AICC by which Congress leader? Which option gives the correct answers in the same order?

Last Updated:

This advanced paired MCQ combines two separately verified Modern History facts. The first component resolves to 1951, while the second resolves to Jawaharlal Nehru. Candidates must preserve the order stated in the stem and reject distractors that contain only one correct element.

A1951 | Sardar Patel
B1956 | Jawaharlal Nehru
C1956 | Sardar Patel
D1951 | Jawaharlal Nehru
Correct Answer: 1951 | Jawaharlal NehruYour Answer: D

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. On that evidence, the supported choice is 1951. Remember the association through a three-part entry—setting, action and result—with 1951 in the action slot. Neither 1956 nor 1947 matches the required evidence, and 1950 is connected with a different episode or For statement two, the supported answer is Jawaharlal Nehru. At the AICC meeting in Bombay on 8 August 1942, Jawaharlal Nehru moved the Quit India resolution and Vallabhbhai Patel seconded it. Gandhi delivered the decisive 'Do or Die' address, but he was not the formal mover of the resolution. Here Jawaharlal Nehru fits the complete historical coordinates supplied by “The famous 'Quit India' resolution was moved in the AICC by which Congress leader?”—the relevant actor, moment and outcome must all agree. This development forms part of the changing national movement, in which constitutional negotiation, mass mobilisation, boycott, civil disobedience and revolutionary action followed different Therefore the correct ordered pair is 1951 followed by Jawaharlal Nehru. 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 1951.
  • The second verified component is Jawaharlal Nehru.
  • The ordered answer is 1951 followed by Jawaharlal Nehru.
  • Any pair omitting 1951 or Jawaharlal Nehru is incomplete.
  • Revise 1951 and Jawaharlal Nehru from both cited references.
