Correct answer: B
CONCEPT
A chronology question is solved by placing every named institution on the same time axis and selecting only those whose establishment year equals the target year.
A later renaming does not change an institution’s founding year.
APPLICATION
The University of Calcutta was founded on 24 January 1857.
The University of Bombay was founded on 18 July 1857.
The University of Madras was incorporated on 5 September 1857.
The University of Allahabad was established in 1887.
CROSS-CHECK / CONTRAST
The first three were the presidency universities created in 1857 after Wood’s Despatch; Allahabad belongs to a later year.
A, B and D includes Allahabad and omits Madras.
B, C and D includes Allahabad and omits Calcutta.
A, C and D includes Allahabad and omits Bombay.
Therefore, the set is A, B and C only.
