Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

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.
