Correct answer: (c) 3-2-1
Explanation
- A
1-2-3
Option (a) is 1-2-3: RIN mutiny, then Quit India, then Second Round Table. That reverses the 1930s and 1940s. Second RTC was 1931, Quit India 1942, RIN 1946. This option is not the key.
- B
2-1-3
Option (b) is 2-1-3: Quit India, RIN, then Second RTC. Putting 1931 last is impossible. This option is therefore wrong.
- C
3-2-1
Second Round Table Conference (London, 1931) came first among the three. Quit India was launched in August 1942. The Royal Indian Navy mutiny was February 1946. Sequence 3-2-1 is the official key.
- D
3-1-2
Option (d) is 3-1-2: RTC, then RIN, then Quit India. That places 1946 before 1942. This option is not the key.
Summary. Official key is (c) 3-2-1. Using the stem events: Second Round Table Conference (1931), Quit India Movement (1942), Royal Indian Navy mutiny (1946). Gandhi attended the Second RTC after the Gandhi–Irwin Pact. Quit India followed the Cripps failure. RIN ratings struck in Bombay at the war’s end. Only (c) is chronological.
