Question

Match List-I with List-II \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{List-I (Indexing System)} & \textbf{List-II (Introduced by)} \\ \hline (A)\ \text{Chain Indexing} & (I)\ \text{J R Sharp} \\ (B)\ \text{Systematic Indexing} & (II)\ \text{Mortimer Taube} \\ (C)\ \text{SLIC Indexing} & (III)\ \text{S.R. Ranganathan} \\ (D)\ \text{UNITERM} & (IV)\ \text{J Kaiser} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

These are classic pairings in library science. Memorize them: Ranganathan = Chain Indexing. Taube = Uniterm. Kaiser = Systematic.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify the originator of each indexing system in List-I. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Chain Indexing: A system of deriving subject index entries from a classification system's chain of classes. It was developed by S.R. Ranganathan.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Systematic Indexing: An indexing method developed by J. Kaiser.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) SLIC (Selective Listing in Combination) Indexing: Developed by J. R. Sharp.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) UNITERM: A coordinate indexing system using single terms (Uniterms) as index entries, invented by Mortimer Taube.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 2: Match the systems in List-I to their creators in List-II. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Chain Indexing matches (III) S.R. Ranganathan.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Systematic Indexing matches (IV) J Kaiser.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) SLIC Indexing matches (I) J R Sharp.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) UNITERM matches (II) Mortimer Taube.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 3: Form the correct combination. The correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
