This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2023 (Tier-II) Paper 1 Previous Year Paper (26-Oct-2023) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Only (i) and (iii)

The correct matching of the British Governor-Generals and their associated events are:

  • Lord Dalhousie was associated with the "Doctrine of Lapse" and not with the Revolt of 1857. Thus, this is the incorrect match.
  • Lord Auckland was associated with the "First Afghan War" (correct match).
  • Lord Canning was associated with the "Wood's Despatch of 1854" (correct match).

Hence, the incorrect matching is Option 3: Only (i) and (iii), as Lord Dalhousie is incorrectly associated with the Revolt of 1857.
