(b) The statement a is incorrect because from Ruskin’s writing Gandhi derived the massage that “the job of a lawyer is equal to a job of a barber, and both have right to earn their livelihood”. Statement b is correct because Gandhi clearly mentioned in one of his writing that The good of individual is contained in the good of all, this is something which inspired him to translate the book into “Sarvodaya”. Statement c is incorrect, what Gandhi derived from this book was of a “life of labour” and not life of celibacy. Celibacy or Brahamcharya was something which actually came out of his own guilt beginning as early as the days of death of his father”.
