Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre occurred on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, Punjab. At that time, the Viceroy of India was Lord Chelmsford, who served from 1916 to 1921. Lord Curzon was Viceroy from 1899 to 1905, which is earlier than 1919. Lord Irwin served from 1926 to 1931, which is after the event. Therefore, only Lord Chelmsford was the Viceroy during the massacre.
हिन्दी उत्तर: जलियांवाला बाग हत्याकांड 13 अप्रैल, 1919 को अमृतसर, पंजाब में हुआ था। उस समय भारत के वायसराय लॉर्ड चेम्सफोर्ड थे, जिन्होंने 1916 से 1921 तक कार्य किया। लॉर्ड कर्ज़न 1899 से 1905 तक वायसराय रहे, जो 1919 से पहले का समय है। लॉर्ड इरविन 1926 से 1931 तक वायसराय रहे, जो घटना के बाद का समय है। इसलिए, केवल लॉर्ड चेम्सफोर्ड ही हत्याकांड के समय वायसराय थे।
