Books And Authors

The task is to arrange the given events in chronological order from the earliest to the latest. Let's look at each statement and their corresponding dates:

• (C) "An Inquiry into the Nature and Cause of the Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith was published in 1776.

• (A) "General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" by John Maynard Keynes was published in 1936.
• (B) Mahalanobis was made a fellow of Britain's Royal Society in 1945.

1. (C) 1776
2. (D) 1919
3. (A) 1936
4. (B) 1945

Thus, the correct answer is: (C), (D), (A), (B)
