Cevap

1 and 2 only
The statements confirming Debendranath Tagore's founding of the Tattvabodhini Sabha in 1839 and Akshay Kumar Dutt's rationalist editorial leadership of the Tattvabodhini Patrika are historically accurate. The statement attributing the founding of the Sadharan Brahmo Samaj to Keshab Chandra Sen is wrong because Sen led the Brahmo Samaj of India, while his opponents formed the Sadharan Brahmo Samaj in 1878.
