This advanced paired MCQ combines two separately verified Modern History facts. The first component resolves to 10-15 million, while the second resolves to Mahad. Candidates must preserve the order stated in the stem and reject distractors that contain only one correct element.

B30 million | Nagpur
C10-15 million | Mahad
D10-15 million | Nagpur
Correct Answer: 10-15 million | MahadYour Answer: C

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. The partition of India in August 1947 resulted in one of the largest mass migrations in human history with approximately 10-15 million people displaced across the new India-Pakistan border. Approximately 1-2 million people were killed in the communal violence that accompanied the partition. The trauma of partition has had lasting effects on both countries. Here 10-15 million fits the complete historical coordinates supplied by “The partition of India in 1947 resulted in one of the largest human migrations in history. Approximately how many people were displaced?”—the relevant actor, moment and outcome must all agree. This For statement two, the supported answer is Mahad.

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 10-15 million.
  • The second verified component is Mahad.
  • The ordered answer is 10-15 million followed by Mahad.
  • Any pair omitting 10-15 million or Mahad is incomplete.
  • Revise 10-15 million and Mahad from both cited references.
