Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A The low literacy rate in Hyderabad was a result of the closing of the private institutions.
B The Nizam did not set up institutions at a faster pace.
C The medium of instruction was Urdu even though the majority knew Telugu.

The Nizam was slow in setting up institutions and did not allow any private institutions. These students later were not given admission at Osmania University. The medium being Urdu also made it difficult as the majority only knew Telugu.
