As a result of Wood's Despatch, which of the following universities were established in 1857?
ACalcutta, Bombay and Madras ✓ Correct
BBombay, Madras and Delhi
CDelhi, Bombay and Calcutta
DMadras, Calcutta and Delhi
Correct answer: (A) Calcutta, Bombay and Madras
Explanation
Following Wood's Despatch, the universities of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras were all established in 1857.
Delhi did not have a university in 1857, so any grouping that includes it is incorrect.
The pairing of Bombay, Madras and Delhi wrongly drops Calcutta and adds Delhi.
Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta again wrongly includes Delhi in place of Madras.
Madras, Calcutta and Delhi similarly substitutes Delhi for Bombay.
These three were modelled on the University of London as affiliating and examining bodies.
