Question

Mahatma Gandhi was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize for the first time in the year 1937 and last time in the year 1948. How many times in between these two years was he nominated?

• A. 1
• B. 3
• C. 2
• D. 0

Hint:

Gandhi was nominated five times in total, across 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and 1948.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: List out every year Gandhi was nominated.
Nobel Committee records show Gandhi was nominated for the Peace Prize in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and 1948, five nominations in total across his life.

Step 2: Count only the years strictly between the first and last.
The first nomination is 1937 and the last is 1948, so we exclude both of these and look only at what falls in between: 1938, 1939, and 1947. That gives exactly three nominations in between.

Final Answer:
Gandhi was nominated 3 times between 1937 and 1948. \[ \boxed{3} \]
