Viresalingam

3. Paramahans Mandali

Gopal Ganesh Agarkar

4. Arya Samaj

Swami Shradhananda

Which of the pairs given above are correctly matched ?

Explanation:
  • Other than the pair 3, all pairs are correctly matched. Gopal Ganesh Agarkar - a great rationalist thinker of Maharastra -was not associated with any prominent reform movement/ organizaion. Keshub Chandra Sen took over Brahmo Samaj after Devendranath Tagore. It was because of Viresalingam - a Tamil reformer - that Prarthana Samaj could spread to South India. Swami Sharadhananda was follower of Swami Dayanand Saraswati of Arya Samaj and later started a gurukul in Haridwar.

Thus, Option C is Correct.
