Q1In which year was Awadh annexed to the British Empire?
Explanation
Awadh was annexed by the British in 1856, during Lord Dalhousie's tenure. The immediate ground used was alleged maladministration, not the Doctrine of Lapse, because Awadh had a ruling dynasty. The year 1852 does not mark the annexation of Awadh. The year 1899 is much later, after the Company era and after the Crown had taken over India. The year 1766 belongs to an earlier phase of Company expansion and does not relate to Awadh's formal annexation. Therefore 1856 is the year asked in the question.
