General KnowledgeHistory of India

A1, 2 and 3
B2 only
C1 and 2 only
D1, 3 and 4

Explanation

Raja Ram Mohan Roy founded the Atmiya Sabha (1814/15) and the Brahmo Samaj (1828) — statements 1 and 2 are true. The Prarthana Samaj was founded by Atmaram Pandurang in Bombay in 1867, and the Arya Samaj by Dayanand Saraswati in 1875 — neither was founded by Roy, so statements 3 and 4 are false. Hence 1 and 2 only are correct.
