Question 7

(A) Gandhiji withdrew the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1922.

(R) An unruly crowd burnt down a police station at Chauri-Chaura in 1922.

  1. Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  3. (A) is true but (R) is false
  4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Answer

Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Explanation — The Chauri Chaura incident in 1922, where a mob set a police station on fire killing 22 policemen, deeply disturbed Gandhiji. As a firm believer in non-violence (Ahimsa), he immediately called off the Non-Cooperation Movement, fearing it was drifting into violence.
