A1, 2 and 3 only
B3, 4 and 5 only
C1, 4 and 5 only ✓ Correct
D1, 3 and 5 only
Correct answer: (C) 1, 4 and 5 only — The genuinely correct statements are 1, 4 and 5 only.
Explanation
★The genuinely correct statements are 1, 4 and 5 only.
★Dayananda Saraswati was born in 1824 at Morvi in Gujarat, his childhood name being Mulashankar.
★In 1886 Hans Raj and Lala Lajpat Rai established the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College at Lahore.
★His guru was Swami Virajananda, not Shraddhananda, so the second statement is wrong.
★Satyarth Prakash, written in 1874, is the chief text of the Arya Samaj, not his autobiography.
★The examining body later excluded this question from evaluation in its final answer key.
