A 1 2 3 4
B 2 4 3 1
C 4 2 1 3
D 3 4 1 2

Correct answer: (d) 3 4 1 2

Explanation

  1. A

    1 2 3 4

    Option (a) pairs the texts with numerical sequence 1 2 3 4, which fails to match Ragmala with Pundrik Vitthal and Rasakaumudi with Srikanth.

  2. B

    2 4 3 1

    Option (b) arranges the code as 2 4 3 1, mistakenly connecting Ragmala to Venkatraman instead of Pundrik Vitthal.

  3. C

    4 2 1 3

    Option (c) gives the sequence 4 2 1 3, incorrectly attributing Chaturdandi Prakashika to Pundrik Vitthal instead of Venkatraman.

  4. D

    3 4 1 2

    Option (d) provides the correct matching sequence 3 4 1 2, accurately pairing Ragmala with Pundrik Vitthal, Rasakaumudi with Srikanth, Ragvivodh with Somnath, and Chaturdandi Prakashika with Venkatraman as established in classical musicology texts.

Summary. Official key is (d) matching List-I texts with their respective writers in List-II correctly. Ragmala was authored by Pundrik Vitthal, Rasakaumudi by Srikanth, Ragvivodh by Somnath, and Chaturdandi Prakashika by Venkatraman. Students often confuse the authors of various music treatises due to similar historical periods. Careful verification of individual musicological texts prevents such common matching errors. Thus, only option (d) correctly establishes all the pairs in proper sequence.
