Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem of matching events from List-I with their corresponding locations or timeline in List-II, let's analyze each pair: 

1. Introduction of Railways: The first railway line in India was introduced between Bombay and Thane in 1853. Thus, Introduction of Railways matches with 1853.
2. Fort St. George: Located in the present-day city of Chennai, formerly known as Madras. Hence, Fort St. George corresponds to Madras.
3. Fort William: This is a historical fort that was built in Calcutta, now known as Kolkata. Therefore, Fort William matches with Calcutta.
4. The Borah Bazaar: An area situated in Bombay, currently called Mumbai. Therefore, the Borah Bazaar is linked to Bombay.

Based on this analysis, the correct match is: (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
