Consider the following statements about the Indian National Congress 1. I. Sarojini Naidu was the first woman to be the President of the Congress. 2. II. C.R. Das was in prison when he functioned as the President of the Congress. 3. III. The first Britisher to become the President of the Congress was Alan Octavian Hume. 4. IV. Alfred Webb was the President of the Congress in 1894. Which of these statements are correct?

Evaluating statements about the Indian National Congress (INC) and its Presidents: 1. Statement I: The first woman President of the Congress was Annie Besant (1917). Sarojini Naidu was the first *Indian* woman President (1925). Therefore, the statement that Sarojini Naidu was the first woman president is incorrect. (Incorrect) 2. Statement II: C.R. Das was elected President of the INC for the Gaya session in 1922. He had also been elected President for the Ahmedabad session in 1921 but was in prison at that time, so Hakim Ajmal Khan presided as acting President. Thus, C.R. Das was in prison when he functioned (or was supposed to function) as President. (Correct) 3. Statement III: The first Britisher (non-Indian) to become President of the Congress was George Yule (1888). Alan Octavian Hume was instrumental in founding the INC but never served as its President. (Incorrect) 4. Statement IV: Alfred Webb, an Irish member of the British Parliament, served as the President of the Congress at its Madras session in 1894. (Correct) Therefore, statements II and IV are correct.
