✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
📌 Core Theoretical Concept:
This question examines four statements regarding the administrative history, freedom struggle, and prominent institutions of Uttar Pradesh. Among these, statements 2, 3, and 4 are completely accurate, while statement 1 is incorrect. In 1921, the provincial capital of the United Provinces was shifted to Lucknow from 'Allahabad (Prayagraj)', not from 'Agra'. Therefore, statement 1 is factually wrong due to the wrong origin city. Consequently, option (b) is the correct choice since statements 2, 3, and 4 are historically verified.
📊 Key Exam Points:
- Analysis of Statement 1: The capital of the United Provinces was shifted to Lucknow in 1921 from Allahabad, making statement 1 incorrect.
- Analysis of Statement 2: The 1925 Kanpur Congress session is historic as Sarojini Naidu became the first Indian woman president of the INC.
- Analysis of Statement 3: Banaras Sanskrit College was founded in 1791 by Jonathan Duncan to study Hindu law and philosophy, later becoming Sampurnanand Sanskrit University.
- Analysis of Statement 4: The Chauri-Chaura incident occurred on February 4, 1922, prompting Gandhiji to suspend the Non-Cooperation Movement.

🎯 Exam Perspective: Key Insights for Teacher Exams Detailed Solution ➔
Deep pedagogical analysis shows that state-level examinations frequently test candidates' precision regarding historical milestones and administrative shifts. Aspirants must carefully examine geographical and institutional names (such as Allahabad vs. Agra as former capitals). Mastering chronological timelines of freedom struggle events like the Chauri-Chaura incident and early British-era academic foundations ensures high accuracy in multi-statement objective questions. Practicing elimination techniques will further optimize performance in competitive examinations.
