  2. 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.
