Prelims 2018 · Modern History and the Freedom Struggle · Question 89
With reference to educational institutions during colonial rule in India, consider the following pairs:<br/>| Institution | Founder |<br/>|---|---|<br/>| 1. Sanskrit College at Benaras | William Jones |<br/>| 2. Calcutta Madrasa | Warren Hastings |<br/>| 3. Fort William College | Arthur Wellesley |<br/><br/>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.
