Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 1 and 3 only
Raja Radhakanta Deb became the first President of the British Indian Association in 1851, so Pair 1 is correct. Gazulu Lakshminarasu Chetty founded the Madras Native Association—not the Madras Mahajana Sabha—so Pair 2 is wrong. Surendranath Banerjee, with Ananda Mohan Bose, founded the Indian Association in 1876, making Pair 3 correct. Therefore only 1 and 3 are correctly matched.
