Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

	LIST-I Artist		LIST-II Concept/Theory
A.	Rabindranath Tagore	I.	Created a visual sense of cosmic union of purusha and prakriti of the Tantric philosophy
B.	Francis Newton Souza	II.	Make patterns out of doodles and calligraphy
C.	G. R. Santosh	III.	A mysterious impact with vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines, inspired by Cubist style
D.	Gaganendranath Tagore	IV.	Challenged the traditional sense of beauty and morality

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Settle each pair in LIST-I first (A: Rabindranath Tagore; B: F. N. Souza), then see which option agrees with all four.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Plan an elimination route.
Instead of testing the four options one by one from the start, we first pick the pairs we are surest about. Each sure pair removes the options that disagree with it. We then confirm the survivor against the remaining pairs.

Step 2: Use pair A.
Tagore is known for his doodles. He built patterns out of scribbles and calligraphy that came from his manuscript pages. Hence A goes with II. This removes options 2 and 4. Options still alive: option 1, option 3.

Step 3: Use pair B.
Souza was the angry young rebel of the Progressive group. His harsh, erotic and distorted images pushed against accepted taste and morals. Hence B goes with IV. This removes option 1. Options still alive: option 3.

Step 4: Use pair C.
Santosh is the Neo-Tantric painter of the list. His work gives a visual sense of the union of Purusha and Prakriti. Hence C goes with I. No option is removed by this pair because every option still agrees with it. Options still alive: option 3.

Step 5: Use pair D.
Gaganendranath Tagore painted Cubist-style works. Their sharp straight and slanting lines give a mysterious mood. Hence D goes with III. No option is removed by this pair because every option still agrees with it. Options still alive: option 3.

Step 6: Why each rejected option fails.
Option 1 fails at B (it says III, but IV is the right partner), C (it says IV, but I is the right partner), D (it says I, but III is the right partner).
Option 2 fails at A (it says I, but II is the right partner), B (it says II, but IV is the right partner), C (it says III, but I is the right partner), D (it says IV, but III is the right partner).
Option 4 fails at A (it says III, but II is the right partner), D (it says II, but III is the right partner).

Step 7: Confirm the survivor.
Only option 3 is left. Reading it against all four verified pairs, A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III, shows a complete match. The other options each break at least one verified pair, so none of them can be correct.

Final Answer:
The only option that survives every check is option 3.
\[ \boxed{3} \]
