3. He took part in the Battle of Buxar in 1764.

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Let's break down this question about Tatya Tope step-by-step:

Statement 1: "Ramachandra Pandurang Tope was the real name of Tatya Tope."
This statement is TRUE. Tatya Tope is a name he became known by during the revolt, but his birth name was indeed Ramachandra Pandurang Tope.

Statement 2: "He was a personal adherent of Nana Sahib of Bithoor."
This statement is also TRUE. Tatya Tope was a close associate and supporter of Nana Sahib, who was a prominent figure in the 1857 uprising.

Statement 3: "He took part in the Battle of Buxar in 1764."
This statement is FALSE. The Battle of Buxar took place in 1764. Tatya Tope was born much later, around 1814. Therefore, he could not have participated in that battle.

So, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: Both 1 and 2.
