Correct option is B


The correct answer is (b) Chakravarti Rajagopalachari. Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, popularly known as C. Rajagopalachari, was the last Governor-General of India. He served from June 21, 1948, to January 26, 1950, when India became a republic, and the office of the Governor-General was permanently abolished. Rajagopalachari was the only Indian and the last person to hold this position after Lord Mountbatten, who was the first Governor-General of independent India. Information Booster: Lord Mountbatten served as the last British Governor-General of India from 1947 to 1948. He handed over the position to C. Rajagopalachari, making Rajagopalachari the first and only Indian to occupy this office. The position of Governor-General was abolished when India adopted the Republican Constitution on January 26, 1950, transitioning to the position of President of India, with Dr. Rajendra Prasad becoming the first President. C. Rajagopalachari was an important figure in the Indian independence movement, a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, and a respected statesman and leader. ● Thermal equilibrium is when two objects or systems reach the same temperature, and heat transfer stops.
