Q1Who was the founder of the Rajasthan School of Arts?

A Sawai Jai Singh

B Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II

C Man Singh I

D Mirza Raja Jai Singh

Explanation

The Rajasthan School of Arts, associated with Jaipur’s modern art and craft education, was founded under Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II. Sawai Jai Singh is remembered mainly as the founder of Jaipur city and for astronomy, so he does not fit this institution. Man Singh I was an earlier Kachwaha ruler and Mughal noble, not the founder of this school. Mirza Raja Jai Singh also belongs to an earlier political-military context, whereas the art school belongs to the later Jaipur court period.

Q2For the promotion of arts, in 1857 AD, the Maharaja School of Arts and Crafts was established by whom?

A Sawai Jai Singh

B Sawai Ram Singh II

C Sawai Madho Singh I

D Sawai Pratap Singh

Explanation

The Maharaja School of Arts and Crafts was established in 1857 AD under Sawai Ram Singh II for the promotion of arts and crafts in Jaipur. Sawai Jai Singh is remembered mainly for founding Jaipur and for his astronomical work, much earlier than 1857. Sawai Madho Singh I belongs to an earlier phase of Jaipur's history and is not connected with this institution. Sawai Pratap Singh is associated with works such as Hawa Mahal, but not with the 1857 school named in the question.
