Explanation:
Assertion (A):
The Bethune School, established by J.E.D. Bethune, was a significant step in the movement for women's education in India.
Reason (R):
The school was the first to offer formal education to women in India.
- Explanation of Assertion (A): The Bethune School, founded in 1849 by J.E.D. Bethune, played a crucial role in promoting women's education in India. It was one of the first institutions dedicated to providing formal education to women, breaking traditional barriers and empowering women through education.
- Explanation of Reason (R): The statement that the Bethune School was the first to offer formal education to women in India is accurate. Before the establishment of this school, education for women was limited and often informal. The Bethune School paved the way for the advancement of women's education in the country.
Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true. The Reason (R) correctly explains why the Bethune School was a significant step in the movement for women's education in India. It was the pioneering institution that provided formal education to women, marking a crucial development in the history of women's education in the country.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy founded the Brahmo Sabha in 1828. Later it was renamed as Brahmo Samaj. Keshab Chandra Sen founded the Brahmo Samaj of India in 1866.
In 1814, he set up the Atmiya Sabha (or Society of Friends) in Calcutta to propagate the monotheistic ideals of the Vedanta and to campaign against idolatry, caste rigidities, Meaningless rituals and other social ills.
Strongly influenced by rationalist ideas, he declared that Vedanta is based on reason and that, if reason demanded it, even a departure from the scriptures is justified.

Suresh Reddy answered |
- During the late 1820s and early 1830s, there emerged a radical, intellectual trend among Bengal youth, which me to be known as the 'Young Bengal Movement'.
- A young Anglo-Indian, Henry Vivian Derozio (1809-31), who taught at the Hindu College from 1826 to 1831, was the leader and inspirer of this progressive trend.
- Drawing inspiration from the great French Revolution, Derozio inspired his pupils to think freely and rationally, question all authority, love liberty, equality and freedom, and oppose decadent customs and traditions.
- Derozians also supported women's rights and education. Also, Derozio was perhaps the first nationalist poet of modern India. The Derozians, however, failed to have a long-term impact.
- Derozio was removed from the Hindu College in 1831 because of his radicalism. The main reason for their limited success was the prevailing social conditions at that time, which were not ripe for adopting radical ideas.
- Further, there was no support from any other social group or class. The Derozians lacked any real link with the masses; for instance, they failed to take up the peasants' cause. In fact, their radicalism was bookish in character.

Explanation:
Firstly, let's understand the two statements provided in the question:
Statement 1: The Sarda Act raised the marriage age to 18 for boys and 14 for girls.
- The Sarda Act of 1929 was enacted to prevent the solemnization of child marriages.
- It set the minimum age of marriage at 18 for boys and 14 for girls in British India.
Statement 2: The Child Marriage Restraint (Amendment) Act, 1978, further raised the age of marriage for girls from 15 to 18 years.
- The Child Marriage Restraint Act was enacted in India in 1929 (also known as the Sarda Act) and was later amended in 1978.
- The 1978 amendment raised the minimum age of marriage for girls from 15 to 18 years.
Analysis:
- Both statements are true as they refer to legal provisions that have been enacted in India to prevent child marriages.
- The Sarda Act initially set the marriage age at 18 for boys and 14 for girls, while the 1978 amendment further raised the minimum age for girls to 18 years.
- These laws are crucial in protecting the rights of children and promoting their well-being by preventing early and forced marriages.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) Both Statement 1 and 2 are true.
