Answer 2

Answer:

The correct set of events is 2,4,1,3.

Explanation:

• Firstly, a group of soldiers mutinied and walked out of their military barracks.
• Then, the soldiers were dismissed and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for refusing to use the greased cartridges.
• After that, other soldiers stationed at Meerut revolted and British officers released the imprisoned soldiers.
• And then, the released soldiers killed the British officers and after reaching Delhi proclaimed Bahadur Shah Zafar as the emperor.
• The Company's very presence in India was put in jeopardy by the May 1857 uprising. The rebellion that began in the Meerut cantonment spread throughout much of northern and central India. A few days later, during an army rehearsal, some sepoys from the regiment at Meerut objected to using the new cartridges. It was said that the new cartridges included a coating made of pig and cow fat. 85 sepoys were discharged from the service because they disobeyed the commands. They received a ten-year prison term. The incident took place on May 9, 1857.

Thus this is the answer.
