Explanation
★The correct chronological order is 3, 5, 2, 1, 4: moved to England, cleared the ICS, became vice-principal of Baroda College, attended the Banaras session, arrested in the Alipore bomb case.
★Aurobindo moved to England in 1879 as a child for his education.
★He cleared the Indian Civil Service examination in 1890 but did not join, having failed the riding test.
★Returning to India, he became vice-principal of Baroda College around 1893.
★He attended the Banaras session of the Indian National Congress in 1905, in his active political phase.
★He was arrested in connection with the Alipore bomb case in 1908, though later acquitted in 1909.
★The order thus traces his path from student in England to revolutionary on trial.
★At Cambridge Aurobindo was secretary of the Indian Majlis and joined a secret society called the Lotus and Dagger.
