Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
A chronology arranges events by their dates, from the earliest date to the latest date.
For institutions, compare the official establishment years first; names or present status do not determine the order.
Application
Associate each university with its establishment year, then sort the years in ascending order.
Label | University | Establishment year |
|---|---|---|
E | University of Calcutta | 1857 |
B | University of Delhi | 1922 |
C | Nagpur University | 1923 |
D | Andhra University | 1926 |
A | Agra University | 1927 |
1857 comes first, so E is first.
Among the remaining years, 1922 comes next, so B follows E.
Then come 1923 and 1926, placing C before D.
1927 is the latest year in the set, so A is last.
Cross-check
The ascending year check is 1857 < 1922 < 1923 < 1926 < 1927.
Contrast
B, C, A, E, D begins with 1922 and places the 1857 institution later.
C, D, A, E, B begins with 1923 and places the 1922 institution last.
A, E, B, D, C places the 1927 institution before the 1857 institution.
Therefore, the chronological order is E, B, C, D, A.
