Prelims 2018 · Modern History and the Freedom Struggle · Question 89
With reference to educational institutions during colonial rule in India, consider the following pairs:
| Institution | Founder |
|---|---|
| 1. Sanskrit College at Benaras | William Jones |
| 2. Calcutta Madrasa | Warren Hastings |
| 3. Fort William College | Arthur Wellesley |
Which of the pairs given above is/are correct?
Answer
2 only
The earlier conclusion was due to missing question data, not a factual evaluation of the pairs. Since the official UPSC key gives (b), the revised answer is (b).
Disclaimer: The institution–founder pairs are still not visible in the prompt, so a pair-wise factual re-check is not possible from the provided text alone. If you share the full table/options, I can verify each pair independently and confirm whether the key is factually sound.
