Answer 1

rama amd ravana commemorates the Spiritual enlightenment of these two famous saints

Answer 2

Vardhman Mahavira and Dayanand Saraswati are the right answer.  

In Jainism, Diwali has very special importance. When Mahavira, the twenty-fourth attained Moksha (liberation) on 15 October 527 BCE, it was the Chaturdashi of Kartika or Diwali. Thereafter Diwali signifies the centennial of Nirvana of Mahavira's soul.  

This day of Diwali marks the enlightenment of another significant personality of India, known as Swami Dayanand Saraswati. He attained Nirvana on the new moon day of the Kartik month, which is popularly celebrated as Diwali. After his Nirvana, he came to be known as Maharishi Dayanand.
