Single correct option

Consider the following statements about the Salt Satyagraha:
1. Gandhi began the march from Sabarmati Ashram on 12 March 1930.
2. He broke the salt law at Dandi on 6 April 1930.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
  1. A. 1 only
  2. B. 2 only
  3. C. Both 1 and 2
  4. D. Neither 1 nor 2
Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2

Both statements are correct. Gandhi and 78 followers left Sabarmati Ashram on 12 March 1930, walked about 240 miles and reached Dandi on the Gujarat coast, where he picked up salt on 6 April 1930, starting the Civil Disobedience Movement. Choosing only one statement misses either the start or the end of the march.
