Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II:

LIST-I Leaders	LIST-II Associations
A. Danka Shah	I. Successor to Peshwa Baji Rao II
B. Nana Sahib	II. Local zamindar in Arrah
C. Kunwar Singh	III. Battle of Chinhat
D. Rani Lakshmi Bai	IV. Killed in the battle in June 1858

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV
• B. A - III, B - I, C - II, D - IV
• C. A - IV, B - II, C - III, D - I
• D. A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II

Hint:

Rani of Jhansi died in June 1858. Kunwar Singh was the zamindar of Arrah.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Start with the easiest pair:
Rani Lakshmi Bai died fighting in June 1858. This gives D with IV. Options 1 and 2 have D - IV, and options 3 and 4 do not. So options 3 and 4 go out

Step 2: Use Kunwar Singh:
Arrah is in Bihar and Kunwar Singh was its local zamindar. So C goes with II. Option 1 has C - III, which is wrong. Option 2 has C - II, which fits

Step 3: Cross-check Nana Sahib and Danka Shah:
Nana Sahib succeeded Baji Rao II, so B is I. Danka Shah fought at Chinhat, so A is III. Both agree with option 2

Step 4: Result:
Every pair in option 2 is correct, so it is the answer

Step 5: Extra check:
Why the other options fail: option 1 gives A with I, but Nana Sahib, not Danka Shah, was the successor of Baji Rao II. Option 3 gives A with IV, but the death in June 1858 belongs to the Rani of Jhansi. Option 4 gives B with IV, which also mixes up the Rani and Nana Sahib. Each wrong option has at least one pair that is easy to disprove from a known fact.

Final Answer:
A - III, B - I, C - II, D - IV (option 2).
