A1 and 2
B3 only ✓ Correct
C3 and 4
D1 and 4
Correct answer: (B) 3 only — Statement 3 alone is incorrect about Tilak's Swaraj, so the answer is 3 only.
Explanation
★Statement 3 alone is incorrect about Tilak's Swaraj, so the answer is 3 only.
★Tilak's Swaraj stressed self-governance by the Indian people themselves.
★He favoured power flowing from individuals and community-building upward.
★He leaned towards decentralisation rather than a top-heavy hierarchy.
★So a hierarchical form of government does not fit his idea of Swaraj.
★Statements 1, 2 and 4 correctly describe his decentralised, participatory Swaraj.
★Only the claim of hierarchy contradicts his self-rule philosophy.
