Consider the following pairs:1.Radhakanta Deb - First President of the British Indian Association2.Gazulu Lakshminarasu Chetty - Founder of the Madras Mahajana Sabha3.Surendranath Banerjee - Founder of the Indian AssociationWhich of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?

1. A

   1 only

   (a) 1 only. Radhakanta Deb was the first President of the British Indian Association (1851), but Surendranath Banerjee’s Indian Association (1876) is also correctly matched. 1 only is incomplete.

2. B

   1 and 3 only

   (b) 1 and 3 only. Pair 1 matches Radhakanta Deb as first President of the British Indian Association, and pair 3 matches Surendranath Banerjee as founder of the Indian Association. Pair 2 is wrong: Gazulu Lakshminarasu Chetty founded the Madras Native Association, not the Madras Mahajana Sabha, so this is the official key.

3. C

   2 and 3 only

   (c) 2 and 3 only. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched, so this code fails.

4. D

   1, 2 and 3

   (d) 1, 2 and 3. The Chetty–Mahajana Sabha mismatch knocks out all three.

Summary. Official key is (b) 1 and 3 only. The British Indian Association of 1851 had Radhakanta Deb as its first President (Debendranath Tagore was secretary). Surendranath Banerjee and Ananda Mohan Bose founded the Indian Association in 1876. Gazulu Lakshminarasu Chetty’s 1852 Madras Native Association is not the Madras Mahajana Sabha of 1884 (Veeraraghavachariar, Subramania Iyer, Anandacharlu). Only pairs 1 and 3 are right.
