AServants of India Society | Nehru
BPrarthana Samaj | Mahatma Gandhi
CPrarthana Samaj | Nehru
DServants of India Society | Mahatma Gandhi
Correct Answer: Servants of India Society | Mahatma GandhiYour Answer: D

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. Gopal Krishna Gokhale founded both the Deccan Education Society (1884) with Bal Gangadhar Tilak and others AND the Servants of India Society (1905) dedicated to training national missionaries for public service. Gokhale was known for his moderate approach to nationalism and his focus on social uplift through education and reform. The wording of “Gopal Krishna Gokhale founded which institution dedicated to training public workers in India?” makes Servants of India Society decisive because the stem combines a particular date, place and political consequence rather than asking for a loose association. This development forms part of For statement two, the supported answer is Mahatma Gandhi. Young India was a weekly journal published from 1919 to 1932 associated with Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi used Young India along with Navajivan (Gujarati) to communicate with the public spread his ideas about Satyagraha non-violence Swadeshi and social reforms. He wrote extensively about Indian freedom struggle in these publications. The answer turns on the exact role assigned in “The magazine 'Young India' was associated with which Indian leader?”. Evidence connecting Mahatma Gandhi to that role is stronger than a general connection with the same war or movement. This development forms part of the changing national movement, Therefore the correct ordered pair is Servants of India Society 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 Servants of India Society.
  • The second verified component is Mahatma Gandhi.
  • The ordered answer is Servants of India Society followed by Mahatma Gandhi.
  • Any pair omitting Servants of India Society or Mahatma Gandhi is incomplete.
  • Revise Servants of India Society and Mahatma Gandhi from both cited references.
