What is the correct chronological sequence of the above events?

AOptions

A) 1-2-3

B) 2-1-3

C) 3-2-1

D) 3-1-2

BSolution

To determine the correct chronological sequence, let's recall the dates of these significant events in India's freedom struggle:

1. Mutiny in Royal Indian Navy (also known as the Bombay Naval Mutiny or Naval Uprising): This occurred in February 1946.

2. Quit India Movement launched: This major civil disobedience movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in August 1942.

3. Second Round Table Conference: This conference was held in London from September to December 1931. Mahatma Gandhi attended this conference as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress.

Arranging these events chronologically from earliest to latest:

3. Second Round Table Conference (1931)

2. Quit India Movement launched (1942)

1. Mutiny in Royal Indian Navy (1946)

Thus, the correct sequence is 3-2-1.
