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

Hint:

Even if one category or instrument is unfamiliar (like Morsing), you can often solve matching questions by correctly pairing the ones you know for sure and then using the process of elimination.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires matching the categories of Indian musical instruments (List-I) with an example of an instrument from that category (List-II). Note that 'Tatt' is another term for 'Tata' (string).
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
- (A) Tatt (Tata) Vadya: String instruments. The Veena (IV) is a string instrument. Thus, A matches with IV.
- (B) Avanaddha Vadya: Membranophones (drums). The Mridangam (III) is a percussion drum. Thus, B matches with III.
- (C) Ghana Vadya: Idiophones (solid percussion). The Morsing (II), or Jew's harp, is a plucked idiophone. Thus, C matches with II.
- (D) Sushira Vadya: Aerophones (wind instruments). The Nagaswara (I) is a double-reed wind instrument. Thus, D matches with I.
Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
