This is a list of consecutive Governor Generals/Presidents of India.

1- Lord Mountbatten
A- C. Rajagopalachari
2- Dr. Rajendra Prasad
B- Servapalli Radhakrishnan
3- Zakir Hussain

I think C is C.V. Raman, the connect with A and B being all three of them won the Bharat Ratna in the same year as the first ever awardees.
