In which year Vasco-da-gama arrived in Kalikat?
  1. a.1757
  2. b.1498
  3. c.1497
  4. d.1598

Answer: (B) 1498

Vasco da Gama reached Calicut (Kozhikode) in May 1498 after rounding the Cape of Good Hope. He had set sail from Lisbon in 1497, which is the tempting wrong option; 1757 is the Battle of Plassey and 1598 has no link to his voyage.
