Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
To arrange institutions chronologically, use the same historical milestone for every institution and place the earliest year first. Establishment or formal opening dates provide a consistent timeline; if both are reported, record the distinction without changing the relative order.
Application
The institutions are placed against their documented establishment or opening years:
Sanskrit College, Benares (D): established in 1791.
Fort William College, Calcutta (E): established in 1800.
Sanskrit College, Calcutta (C): established in 1824.
Civil Engineering College, Roorkee (B): established in 1847.
Rajkumar College, Rajkot (A): founded in 1868 and formally opened in 1870; either date places it after the other four institutions.
Cross-check
The years increase strictly as 1791 < 1800 < 1824 < 1847 < 1868/1870.
Therefore, the chronological order is D, E, C, B, A.
