Solution

The correct option is C X - Sir Syed Ahmed Khan
Y - Theodore Beck
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan once said, ‘The Hindus and the Muslims are the two eyes of the beautiful bride that is India.’ However, his approach began to differ after his interactions with Mr Theodore Beck, the Principal of MAO College. Beck advised Muslims to stay away from Hindus, the Indian National Congress and the National movement. Instead, he advised the Muslim community to start supporting the British Government and to take up Western education. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was taken by his ideas and he started advocating for the same measures.
