Gandhi passed his matriculation examination in 1887, after which he went to England in 1888 to study law. The years 1889 and 1890 are therefore too late for the matriculation.

According to Gandhi's autobiography, it was Mavji Dave (a family friend and adviser) who suggested that Gandhi go to England to study law (become a Barrister) so that he might secure a Diwan post in a princely state. Kaba Saheb, Gokhale, and Malaviya were later associates rather than the source of this early suggestion.

Before leaving for England, Gandhi's mother Putlibai insisted he take a vow to abstain from meat, women, and liquor; standard GK accounts attribute the vow to her insistence. The brother and the priest of a Kali temple are not associated with this episode.

In his autobiography, Gandhi admitted to eating meat as a boy under peer influence. Before departing for England in 1888 he pledged to his mother to abstain from meat and became a committed vegetarian, a principle he maintained for life. The statement is true.

During his stay at Bayswater in London, Gandhiji helped establish the Vegetarian Club and served as its Secretary. He was neither President, Vice President, nor Chairman, so option C is correct.

The 2005 attack on Sri Sri Ravishankar occurred when he was leaving his ashram in Bangalore. The assailants opened fire on his vehicle, and one bullet grazed a devotee's thigh. Option C correctly states he was coming out of his ashram at the time.

The Art of Living Foundation is a global humanitarian and educational organization founded by Sri Sri Ravishankar in 1981. It promotes stress management, personal development, and service to society. Option C correctly identifies 'Art of living' as the organization name.

The 2005 attack on Sri Sri Ravishankar took place on the outskirts of Bangalore when his car was ambushed. This incident occurred near his ashram, making Bangalore the correct location. Option C correctly identifies Bangalore as the location.

During the 2005 attack on Sri Sri Ravishankar's car in Bangalore, one bullet grazed the thigh of a devotee traveling with him. Sri Sri Ravishankar himself was unharmed in the incident. Option C correctly states that the bullet hit a devotee in his thigh.

Sri Sri Ravishankar attributed his survival to the positive atmosphere in the ashram. This reflects his teachings about the power of positive environment and collective consciousness. The other options either contradict his spiritual philosophy or are too simplistic interpretations.
