Answer 1

Hint: The thought for the school was proposed in 1869 by Colonel Walter. It was established in 1875 and Colonel Sir Oliver St John turned into its first head.

Complete answer: Mayo School is also informally addressed as Mayo, is a boarding school for boys which provides a very different life experience. It is in Ajmer, Rajasthan. It was established in 1875 by Richard Bourke who was the sixth Duke of Mayo. He was the Emissary of India from 1869 to 1872. This makes it one of the most established public schools or boys boarding schools in India. The chief is Lt. General Surendra Kulkarni, who has been committed to the post since January 2015 as the seventeenth head. It was expected to give schooling like that given by Eton School. The English assembled Mayo for the children of the Indian privileged societies, especially the sovereigns and aristocrats of India. The school has around 800 students somewhere in the range of 9 and 18.

Therefore the correct answer is “D”.

Note: Sir Oliver Beauchamp Coventry St John was an official during the British reign in India. For ten years he also served as the chief commissioner of Balochistan. He was associated with the founding of a telegraph network to India.
