Arranging Education Ministers in Chronological Order

This question requires us to arrange four prominent political figures based on the timeline when they served as India's Education Minister or Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister. To achieve this, we need to determine the specific periods each individual held these ministerial portfolios.

Analyzing Ministerial Tenures

Let's examine the service period for each of the individuals mentioned:

  • (D) Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed: Served as the Minister of Education from November 1966 to November 1967.
  • (B) Karan Singh: Took over as the Minister of Education from November 1967 and served until February 1973.
  • (C) K.C. Pant: Became the Minister of Education in January 1985 and held the post until December 1989.
  • (A) P.V. Narasimha Rao: Served as the Minister of Human Resource Development (which includes education) from June 1985 to December 1989.

Determining Chronological Order

By comparing the start dates of their tenures, we can establish the chronological sequence:

  1. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed (D) started in November 1966.
  2. Karan Singh (B) started in November 1967.
  3. K.C. Pant (C) started in January 1985.
  4. P.V. Narasimha Rao (A) started in June 1985.

Therefore, the correct chronological order according to when they held the post is (D), (B), (C), (A).
