TNPSC Group 1 Prelims 2026 GS Question Paper (27-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

(iv) only

The Subsidiary Alliance was introduced by Lord Wellesley (1798), not Lord Cornwallis, so pair (i) is wrong.

The Permanent Settlement of Bengal (1793) was made by Lord Cornwallis, not Lord Dalhousie, so pair (ii) is wrong. The Doctrine of Lapse was applied by Lord Dalhousie, not Lord Lytton, so pair (iii) is wrong.

Lord Curzon carried out the Partition of Bengal in 1905, so pair (iv) is the only correct match.

Hence, (iv) only.
