The verified pick here is b, c and d only. The Krishna river rises at Mahabaleshwar in the Sahyadri and flows east across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh before draining into the Bay of Bengal.

A.Lord Dalhousie
B.Lord Ripon
C.Lord Mountbatten

Correct answer: D

Working through the options, Lord Canning is the correct one. 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.

B.b and c only
C.a, b and c only
D.b, c and d only

Correct answer: C

This one comes to a, b and c only. The year 1867 anchors this question — the correct option is the fact that dates to that year. 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.

Correct answer: A

B.b and c only
C.a, b and c only
D.b, c and d only

Correct answer: C

The right answer is a, b and c only (option C). The Revolt of 1857 began on 10 May 1857 at Meerut; it is regarded as India's first war of independence. This is a classic MPSC 'anchor-word' item — the stem contains one specific term (a proper noun, a date, an article number) that maps directly to only one option.

A.a and b only
B.b and c only
C.a, b and d only
D.c and d only

Correct answer: C

The verified pick here is a, b and d only. The Bhima river, the largest tributary of the Krishna, rises at Bhimashankar in Pune district and joins the Krishna in Karnataka after crossing Solapur. 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.
