Answer 1

Correct answer :-

Panicked, the survivors returned to their places of residence, carrying the contagion deep into the Kashmir Valley. Meanwhile, tens of Hindu pilgrims visiting the Amarnath cave moved through the infested as well as unaffected villages, thus providing a mobile constituency to transmit the disease. By October, over 4,200 people had succumbed to the disease, the mortality rate as high as 56%. A single unrestrained, perhaps ignorant, victim caused havoc in the entire Valley. He had carried the cholera bacteria from Punjab, where the epidemic had been intermittently raging on since 1897.

Of these, about 10 million belonged to Punjab, North-Western Provinces and Bombay.✔️
