Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 4:

The correct chronological order is determined by the date of occurrence for each event:  * (b) **Ahmedabad Mill Satyagraha:** March 1918
  * (c) **Rowlatt Satyagraha:** February/March 1919
  * (d) **Gandhi-Irwin Pact:** March 5, 1931
  * (a) **Poona Pact:** September 24, 1932The earliest event is the Ahmedabad Mill Satyagraha (b) in 1918, followed by the Rowlatt Satyagraha (c) in 1919. These were early movements led by Mahatma Gandhi. Decades later, following the Civil Disobedience Movement, came the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (d) in 1931. Finally, the Poona Pact (a) in 1932, signed between Gandhi and B. R. Ambedkar, marks the last event in this sequence. Thus, the order is (b), (c), (d), (a).

The incorrect option is 1: (a), (b), (c), (d)
This option places the Poona Pact (1932) first and the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (1931) last. In reality, the Poona Pact happened after the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, and both the Ahmedabad Mill Satyagraha (1918) and the Rowlatt Satyagraha (1919) preceded both of these later events by more than a decade. Therefore, this sequence is chronologically incorrect.

The incorrect option is 2: (b), (d), (a), (c)
This option correctly starts with the Ahmedabad Mill Satyagraha (b). However, it then places the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (d) and Poona Pact (a) before the Rowlatt Satyagraha (c). The Rowlatt Satyagraha occurred in 1919, while the Gandhi-Irwin Pact occurred in 1931, making the arrangement of the last three events incorrect, as 1931 and 1932 must follow 1919.

The incorrect option is 3: (c), (d), (a), (b)
This option places the Rowlatt Satyagraha (c) first (1919), but the Ahmedabad Mill Satyagraha (b) occurred earlier, in 1918. Furthermore, it incorrectly places the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (d) and Poona Pact (a) between the Rowlatt Satyagraha and the Ahmedabad Mill Satyagraha, mixing events from the late 1910s and the early 1930s randomly.
