Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct chronological sequence is 3-2-1, making option C the correct answer.

The Second Round Table Conference was held in London from September 7, 1931 to December 1, 1931.[1] This was the earliest of the three events.

The Quit India Movement came next, when the Congress Working Committee passed the historic 'Quit India' resolution on 14 July 1942 in Wardha, which was endorsed by the All India Congress Committee on 8 August 1942 in Bombay.[2]

The Mutiny in the Royal Indian Navy occurred last, on February 18, 1946, when some 1100 Royal Indian Navy (RIN) ratings of HMIS Talwar went on strike.[3] The mutiny was a protest against racial discrimination, unpalatable food, abuse by officers, and the INA trials.

Therefore, the events occurred in the order: Second Round Table Conference (1931) → Quit India Movement (1942) → Royal Indian Navy Mutiny (1946), which corresponds to the sequence 3-2-1.

This is a textbook 'Sitter'—a fundamental chronology question derived directly from the chapter headings of Spectrum or NCERT. It tests the broad phases of the freedom struggle (1930s vs 1940s) rather than obscure dates. Missing this indicates a critical gap in basic timeline comprehension.

“Members of the Indian Liberal Party such as Tej Bahadur Sapru, C.Y. Chintamani and Srinivasa Sastri appealed to Gandhi to talk with the Viceroy. Gandhi and Irwin reached a compromise which came to be called the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (the Delhi Pact). The second Round Table Conference was held in London from September 7, 1931 to December 1, 1931. The Indian National Congress nominated Gandhi as its sole representative. A. Rangaswami Iyengar and Madan Mohan Malaviya were also there. There were a large number of Indian participants, besides the Congress.”
Why this source?
  • Gives exact dates: 'September 7, 1931 to December 1, 1931', directly indicating the year 1931.
  • Explicitly states it was the 'second Round Table Conference' held in London in those 1931 dates.

“A second Round Table Conference was held in London in the latter part of 1931. Here, Gandhiji represented the Congress. However, his claims that his party represented all of India came under challenge from three parties: from the Muslim League, which claimed to stand for the interests of the Muslim minority; from the Princes, who claimed that the Congress had no stake in their territories; and from the brilliant lawyer and thinker B.R. Ambedkar, who argued that Gandhiji and the Congress did not really represent the lowest castes. The Conference in London was inconclusive, so Gandhiji returned to India and resumed civil disobedience.”
Why this source?
  • States a second Round Table Conference was held in London 'in the latter part of 1931', corroborating the year.
  • Notes Gandhi represented the Congress at that conference, linking the event to the same 1931 context.
