Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II and choose the correct answer. LIST-I (Building)
A. Sanchi Stupa
B. Circular Column
C. Pyramid
D. Palaces LIST-II (Shape)
I. Cylinder
II. Triangular Surfaces
III. Dome
IV. Cuboids

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• B. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
• D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Hint:

When matching buildings with shapes, identify the most dominant and simplest geometric form of the structure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this question, we need to match the buildings listed in List-I with their architectural shapes from List-II. Let's review each building and its corresponding shape:

1. Sanchi Stupa:  
   The Sanchi Stupa is a large hemispherical structure, also known as a dome. 
   Thus, the correct match for Sanchi Stupa is with III (Dome).
2. Circular Column: 
   A circular column typically has a cylindrical shape. 
   Hence, the correct match for Circular Column is with I (Cylinder).
3. Pyramid: 
   Pyramids generally consist of triangular surfaces that converge to a point (apex). 
   This means the correct match for Pyramid is with II (Triangular Surfaces).
4. Palaces: 
   Palaces usually have large, rectangular buildings with cuboidal forms. 
   Therefore, the correct match for Palaces is with IV (Cuboids).

Considering the above matches, the correct pairing is:

• A - III (Sanchi Stupa - Dome)
• B - I (Circular Column - Cylinder)
• C - II (Pyramid - Triangular Surfaces)
• D - IV (Palaces - Cuboids)

Thus, the correct option is: A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
