b. Spinning Jenny - iv. James Hargreaves

c. Steam engine -  v. James Watt

d. Cotton mill - iii. Richard Arkwright

e. First Indian jute mill -  i. Seth Hukumchand

Explanation:

• Gomastha (sometimes written Gumastha or Gumasta; Persian: agent[1]) was the name of an Indian agent employed by the British East India Company in its colonies to sign bonds for the delivery of commodities to the Company, generally under duress.
• The spinning Jenny was created in 1764 by James Hargreaves, who is renowned for it. The spinning jenny, to put it simply, was a device that spun several spindles of thread simultaneously using a big wheel. The discovery improved textile manufacturers' capacity for output, and cotton benefited most.
• The steam engine, the most important invention of the Industrial Revolution, was revolutionised by James Watt (1836–1919). Locomotives, steam ships, and industries with coal-powered machinery would not have existed without Watt.
• When Lancashire businessman Richard Arkwright (1732–92) created a straightforward but astonishing spinning machine in 1767, a breakthrough finally occurred. The water frame made it possible to spin cotton yarn more swiftly and in greater numbers than ever before, replacing the labour of human hands.
• Sir Seth Hukum Chand Jain (Kasliwal), an important figure in Indian business and the Jain community for over 50 years, was born in Indore, the capital of the Holkar State, and died in 1959.
• Seth Pusaji, a member of the Maratha Confederacy's leading Holkar Maratha dynasty, had relocated to Indore in 1787. Seth Hukum Chand turned the little inheritance he received from his father Seth Sarup Chand—who was also a prosperous businessman—into a fortune worth several crores. During his lifetime, he made several donations totaling roughly 8 million (110 000 US dollars).
