MPSC Gazetted Civil Services Combined Pre 2024 — Question Paper with Answer Key & Explanations

Correct answer: C

Working through the options, Lala Lajpatrai is the correct one. Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856–1920), 'Lokmanya', was a Maratha extremist leader, founder of the Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav (1893) and Shivaji Utsav (1895), and editor of Kesari and The Mahratta. The examiner rewards precision on this item — every option is engineered to feel plausible, but only the marked one matches the exact wording of the source document.

Correct answer: C

Option C carries the right answer — Nana Jagannath Shankarseth. Because the underlying fact is short and specific, this item is fully recallable — the only trap is misreading the stem in a hurry.

Correct answer: D

The intended answer is Sarojini Naidu. The safest way to lock this item into recall is to write the correct option next to its associated year or body in your revision notebook and skim it weekly.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Nanasaheb. The Revolt of 1857 began on 10 May 1857 at Meerut; it is regarded as India's first war of independence. Add this correct option to your active-recall flashcard deck; MPSC repeats the underlying fact in some form every two to three prelim cycles.

Correct answer: C

Working through the options, (b), (c) and (d) are correct is the correct one. The three wrong options are the standard distractor set MPSC uses for this topic — one is a chronological neighbour, one is a thematic near-miss and one is a plausible-sounding invention.

Correct answer: A

The right pick is option A: Satavahana. This kind of item rewards steady factual reading over aggressive shortcut techniques — the marks come from having read the source once, not from clever elimination.
