Lord Curzon List-II (Important Policy) 1. Partition of Bengal 2. Doctrine of Lapse 3. Permanent Settlement 4. Subsidiary Alliance Code :

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

The correct matching of Governor Generals to their policies is as follows: Lord Cornwallis introduced the Permanent Settlement in 1793 in Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha to stabilize the revenue system [3]. Lord Wellesley (1798–1805) is credited with the Subsidiary Alliance system, a method of expansion that required Indian states to maintain British troops and accept British supremacy [4]. Lord Dalhousie (1848–1856) implemented the Doctrine of Lapse, which allowed the British to annex princely states if the ruler died without a direct male heir, leading to the annexation of states like Satara and Jhansi [1]. Lord Curzon is historically associated with the Partition of Bengal in 1905, a significant administrative and political move during his tenure. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1, which corresponds to Option 1.
