Answer 1

Correct order: I (Mughal officials lose their land and wealth) → II (Sepoy Rebellion, 1857) → III (East India Company loses control, 1858) → IV (British Raj begins, 1858).

Brief dates: Mughal decline and loss of revenue/power occurred in the 18th century (after Plassey/Buxar and Diwani rights), the Sepoy Rebellion was in 1857, and after it the East India Company was dissolved and rule transferred to the British Crown in 1858.
