Last Updated:

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

ASwami Dayananda Saraswati | Sabarmati Ashram
BSwami Dayananda Saraswati | Wardha
CRaja Ram Mohan Roy | Sabarmati Ashram
DRaja Ram Mohan Roy | Wardha
Correct Answer: Swami Dayananda Saraswati | Sabarmati AshramYour Answer: A

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. The Arya Samaj was founded by Swami Dayananda Saraswati on 10 April 1875 in Bombay (Mumbai). The Arya Samaj promoted the Vedic religion condemned idol worship casteism and untouchability. Its motto was 'Back to the Vedas.' Dayananda Saraswati wrote the Satyarth Prakash (The Light of Truth). Reading the stem closely separates Swami Dayananda Saraswati 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 revolutionary action followed For statement two, the supported answer is Sabarmati Ashram. On that evidence, the supported choice is Sabarmati Ashram. Mahatma Gandhi started the Dandi March (Salt March) from Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad on March 12, 1930. He walked 241 miles (388 km) to Dandi on the Gujarat coast and broke the salt law on April Therefore the correct ordered pair is Swami Dayananda Saraswati followed by Sabarmati Ashram. 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 Swami Dayananda Saraswati.
  • The second verified component is Sabarmati Ashram.
  • The ordered answer is Swami Dayananda Saraswati followed by Sabarmati Ashram.
  • Any pair omitting Swami Dayananda Saraswati or Sabarmati Ashram is incomplete.
  • Revise Swami Dayananda Saraswati and Sabarmati Ashram from both cited references.
