- A.
  
  True
- B.

The correct answer is true because the Indian National Congress (INC) was indeed founded by a British man named Allan Octavian Hume in 1885.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

The statement is false because Gandhi did not want a home rule for Pakistan. Gandhi was a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement and advocated for a united India, where Hindus and Muslims would coexist peacefully. He opposed the idea of partitioning India into separate Hindu and Muslim nations, which eventually led to the creation of Pakistan. Gandhi believed in the concept of a secular India where all religious communities would have equal rights and representation.

Nehru was often referred to as "Pandit Nehru" because he was well-versed in Sanskrit and had a deep knowledge of Indian culture and history. The term "Pandit" is commonly used in India to refer to a learned scholar or teacher, particularly in the field of Sanskrit. Therefore, the statement that people called Nehru a Pandit because it means scholar of Sanskrit is true.

It is highly unlikely that rich people would agree with Gandhi in living a simple life, as their wealth and lifestyle would often be at odds with such principles. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Muslim League disagreed the decision of splitting India and having control on main components of government.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The given statement is true because the Muslim League did indeed disagree with the decision to split India and wanted to have control over the main components of the government. The Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, advocated for the creation of a separate nation for Muslims called Pakistan. They believed that a united India would not adequately protect the rights and interests of Muslims, and therefore pushed for the partition of India. This ultimately led to the creation of India and Pakistan as separate countries in 1947.
