Correct answer: (b) I, III, IV and II
Explanation
- A
III, I, IV and II
Option (a) claims the chronological order is III, I, IV and II. This places the Berlin Committee before the Gadar Party, which is incorrect since the Gadar Party was founded in 1913 while the Berlin Committee was set up in 1914.
- B
I, III, IV and II
Option (b) claims the chronological order is I, III, IV and II. The Gadar Party was founded in 1913, the Indian Independence Committee in Berlin was set up in 1914, the Central Assembly Bomb Case occurred in 1929, and the Chittagong Armoury Raid took place in 1930. This sequence accurately traces the historical events from earliest to latest.
- C
I, III, II and IV
Option (c) claims the chronological order is I, III, II and IV. This places the Chittagong Armoury Raid of 1930 before the Central Assembly Bomb Case of 1929, which reverses their actual occurrence.
- D
III, I, II and IV
Option (d) claims the chronological order is III, I, II and IV. This incorrectly places the Berlin Committee before the Gadar Party and also disrupts the correct sequence of the later two revolutionary events.
Summary. Official key is (b) because it correctly sequences all four historical freedom struggle events in strict chronological order. The Gadar Party was founded in 1913, followed by the Indian Independence Committee in Berlin in 1914. Later, the Central Assembly Bomb Case took place in 1929 and the Chittagong Armoury Raid occurred in 1930. Many aspirants confuse the exact years of the Berlin Committee and the Gadar Party or mix up the 1929 and 1930 incidents. Option (b) successfully reconciles all dates without any chronological errors.
