Find the incorrect statement:-
1 Maharaja Ranjit Singh belonged to the Ramgarhia Misl.
2 Maharaja Ranjit Singh got the Koh-i-Noor back from Shah Shuja.
3 Maharaja Ranjit Singh employed Europeans to train his army on the modern lines.
4 He was known to be a secular Maharaja. He donated gold to Hindu Shrines in Himachal along with the Harmandir Sahib.
Answer: A
Only statement 1 is incorrect, so the answer is 1 only.
Maharaja Ranjit Singh belonged to the Sukerchakia misl, which his father Maha Singh led, not to the Ramgarhia misl.
The other statements are correct. He obtained the Koh-i-Noor from the exiled Afghan ruler Shah Shuja in 1813. He hired European officers such as Ventura, Allard and Avitabile to train his army on modern lines. He was known for his tolerance and gave gold to Hindu shrines, including the temples at Jwalamukhi in Himachal and Kashi Vishwanath, as well as gilding the Harmandir Sahib. So options naming 2 or 3 are wrong.
