Who among the following presidents was also the governor general of India?
-
Dr. Rajendra Prasad
-
Lord Mountbatten
-
Dr. S. Radhakrishnan
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Dr. S. Radhakrishnan served as the Governor-General of India from 1947-1949 before becoming the second President of India (1962-1967). This dual role was possible because the Governor-General position existed during the constitutional transition period. Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the first President. Lord Mountbatten was the last Viceroy and first Governor-General but not Indian. The 'None of the above' option is incorrect.
