With reference to educational institutions during colonial rule in India, consider the following pairs:Institution - Founder1.Sanskrit College at Benaras - William Jones2.Calcutta Madarsa - Warren Hastings3.Fort William College - Arthur WellesleyWhich of the pairs given above is/are correct?

1. A

   1 and 2

   (a) 1 and 2. Pair 2 is right—Calcutta Madrasa (1781) was founded by Warren Hastings—but pair 1 is wrong: the Sanskrit College at Benares (1791) was Jonathan Duncan’s project, not Sir William Jones’s (Asiatic Society, 1784). This option is not the key.

2. B

   2 only

   (b) 2 only. Only Hastings–Calcutta Madrasa is correctly paired. Jones did not found Benares Sanskrit College; Fort William College (1800) was Lord Wellesley (Richard Colley Wellesley), not Arthur Wellesley. This option is the official key.

3. C

   1 and 3

   (c) 1 and 3. Both remaining pairs mis-name the founder. This option is not the key.

4. D

   3 only

   (d) 3 only. Arthur Wellesley (the later Duke of Wellington) did not found Fort William College. This option is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (b) 2 only. Warren Hastings founded the Calcutta Madrasa in 1781. William Jones founded the Asiatic Society, not the Benares Sanskrit College (Jonathan Duncan, 1791). Fort William College was set up by Governor-General Lord Wellesley in 1800, not by his brother Arthur. Only pair 2 is therefore correct.
