Which of the following architecture located in Bombay was renamed Rajabai Tower?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Indians gave money for some of the buildings built in Neo-gothic style in Bombay. The University Hall was made with money donated by Sir Cowasjee Jehangir Readymoney, a rich Parsi merchant.
The University Library clock tower was similarly funded by the banker Premchand Roychand and was named after his mother as Rajabai Tower.
Indian merchants were happy to adopt the neo-Gothic style since they believed that building styles, like many ideas brought in by the English, were progressive and would help make Bombay into a modern city.
