CASE-BASED MCQs :

Question. Read the following excerpt carefully and answer the following questions: 
On 5 April 1930, Mahatma Gandhi spoke at Dandi: When I left Sabarmati with my companions for this seaside hamlet of Dandi, I was not certain in my mind that we would be allowed to reach this place. Even while I was at Sabarmati there was a rumour that I might be arrested. I had thought that the Government might perhaps let my party come as far as Dandi, but not me certainly. If someone says that this betrays imperfect faith on my part, I shall not deny the charge. That I have reached here is in no small measure due to the power of peace and non-violence: that power is universally felt. The Government may, if it wishes, congratulate itself on acting as it has done, for it could have arrested every one of us. In saying that it did not have the courage to arrest this army of peace, we praise it. It felt ashamed to arrest such an army. He is a civilised man who feels ashamed to do anything which his neighbours would disapprove. The Government deserves to be congratulated on not arresting us, even if it desisted only from fear of world opinion. Tomorrow we shall break the
salt tax law. Whether the Government will tolerate that is a different question. It may not tolerate it, but it deserves congratulation for the patience and forbearance it has displayed in regard to this party. … What if I and all the eminent leaders in Gujarat and in the rest of the country are arrested? This movement is based on the faith that when a whole nation is roused and on the march no leader is necessary.

Question. Assertion (A): Gandhi made Salt a symbol of Protest.
Reason (R): Salt was used by Hindus and Muslims, it was used by rich and poor and the rate of tax was very high on salt.
(A) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
(B) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(C) A is incorrect but R is correct.
(D) R is incorrect but A is correct.

Answer

A

Question. Consider the following statements :
(a) Gandhi declared on 5th April that on 6th April he will break the salt law
(b) He chose 6th April, because on this day Poorna Swarajya resolution was passed. 
Choose the correct option:
(A) Only (a) is correct
(B) Only (b) is correct
(C) Both (a) and (b) are correct.
(D) Neither (a) nor (b) is correct
