For Bihar-related questions on the Revolt of 1857, Peer Ali Khan is an important name to remember.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Read the clues.
The person was hanged by the British in July 1857. He spread anti-British material and organised armed resistance.

Step 2: Identify the hero.
Peer Ali Khan was a bookseller in Patna, Bihar. He secretly gave out revolutionary pamphlets and built networks against the British.

Step 3: His sacrifice.
He was arrested and refused to name his friends. The British hanged him in July 1857, making him an early martyr from Bihar.

Step 4: Rule out others.
Mangal Pandey was executed in April 1857. Jhalkari Bai fought alongside Rani Lakshmibai. Tantia Tope was captured and executed in 1859. None match the clues.

Step 5: Conclude.
The answer is Peer Ali Khan. Note: many sources give his hanging date as 7 July 1857, so the broad clue "July 1857" is correct.

Answer: Peer Ali Khan
