Which pair among the 2019 Bharat Ratna recipients was honoured posthumously?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nanaji Deshmukh and Bhupen Hazarika
In 2019, Nanaji Deshmukh and Bhupen Hazarika received the Bharat Ratna posthumously. Pranab Mukherjee was the living recipient that year, so any pair including him is incorrect. C. N. R. Rao received the Bharat Ratna in 2014, not in 2019. Exam tip: among the three 2019 awardees, remember that only Pranab Mukherjee was honoured while alive.
