With reference to the Treaty of "Aix-la-Chapelle -1748 which of the following statements is/are correct?1.The I Carnatic War was ended.2.The English got back Madras.Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

1. A

   1 only

   (a) 1 only. The First Carnatic War did end with Aix-la-Chapelle, but Madras was also restored to the English, so statement 2 is not dispensable.

2. B

   2 only

   (b) 2 only. Madras returned under the 1748 European settlement, yet that same treaty closed the First Carnatic War. Dropping 1 is wrong.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   (c) Both 1 and 2. The 1748 Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle ended the War of the Austrian Succession and, in India, the First Carnatic War; Madras, taken by the French in 1746, went back to the English. Official key.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   (d) Neither 1 nor 2. Both statements are textbook facts of 1746–48.

Summary. Official key is (c) Both 1 and 2. Aix-la-Chapelle (1748) settled Europe’s Austrian Succession war and wound up the First Carnatic War. Pondicherry stayed French; Madras was restored to the English. ‘Only 1’ or ‘only 2’ knocks out a true limb of that same treaty.
