A1949
B1921
C1935
D1947
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 1935
1. The central bank of a country is the institution that issues its currency and controls money supply.
2. India's central bank is the Reserve Bank of India.
3. It was established in **1935**, before independence.
4. 1949 is the year the RBI was nationalised, and 1947 is independence, so both are common traps here.
