Answer 1

The Correct Option is B, C

To solve the question, we need to match List I with List II correctly. Let's analyze each item:

1. Bombay Plan: This was a plan formulated in 1944 by a group of industrialists, including J. R. D. Tata and others, with the aim of developing the Indian economy. Hence, the correct match is (a, ii).
2. People's Plan: This plan was proposed by M. N. Roy in 1945. It focused on a socialist approach towards planning. Therefore, the correct match is (b, iii).
3. Sarvodaya Plan: This plan was inspired by the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi and was formulated by J. P. Narayan in the 1950s. The focus was on the upliftment of all sections of society, hence the term 'Sarvodaya', meaning 'progress of all'. So, the correct match is (c, i).

Based on the above analysis, the correct answer consists of the following matches:

• (a, ii): Bombay Plan - J. R. D. Tata
• (b, iii): People's Plan - M. N. Roy
• (c, i): Sarvodaya Plan - J. P. Narayan

Thus, the correct options are:

• (a, ii), (b, iii)
• (b, iii), (c, i)
