Show answer
Answer: D. Pair 1 is correct: Tej Bahadur Sapru was a leading Liberal and served as president of the National Liberal Federation. Pair 2 is correct: K. C. Neogy was a member of the Constituent Assembly (from West Bengal). Pair 3 is correct: P. C. Joshi was the first General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (1935-1947). So all three are correct.
Watch for: K. C. Neogy is better known as chairman of the First Finance Commission, so students doubt his Constituent Assembly membership.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because pairs 2 and 3 are also correct.
- B. Wrong because pair 3 is also correct.
- C. Wrong because pairs 1 and 2 are also correct.
