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

Correct answer: (a) 3 2 1 4

Explanation

  1. A

    3 2 1 4

    Option (a) pairs Aryabhatta Award 2024 with Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri (3), World Literary Prize 2024 with Mamta G. Sagar (2), Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award 2024 with Amitabh Bachchan (1), and Goldman Environmental Prize 2024 with Alok Shukla (4), matching the correct sequence 3 2 1 4.

  2. B

    3 2 4 1

    Option (b) claims the sequence 3 2 4 1, which incorrectly pairs the Goldman Environmental Prize with Amitabh Bachchan instead of Alok Shukla, making it an invalid choice for these prestigious 2024 awards.

  3. C

    4 2 1 3

    Option (c) suggests the sequence 4 2 1 3, incorrectly linking the Aryabhatta Award to Alok Shukla rather than Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, rendering this option factually inaccurate.

  4. D

    2 3 1 4

    Option (d) lists 2 3 1 4, which wrongly assigns the Aryabhatta Award to Mamta G. Sagar instead of Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, thereby missing the correct match entirely.

Summary. Official key is (a) with the matching sequence 3, 2, 1, 4 for the 2024 awards. Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri received the Aryabhatta Award, Mamta G. Sagar won the World Literary Prize, Amitabh Bachchan was honored with the Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award, and Alok Shukla secured the Goldman Environmental Prize. Aspirants often confuse environmental and literary honors in matching lists. Careful cross-referencing of recipient profiles ensures accuracy.
