Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
This question asks us to match artists with their instruments and then arrange them in the order: \[ \text{Sitar} \rightarrow \text{Guitar} \rightarrow \text{Violin} \rightarrow \text{Santoor} \rightarrow \text{Tabla} \]

Step 1: Identify the Sitar artist.
Niladri Kumar is associated with Sitar. So: \[ E = \text{Niladri Kumar} \]

Step 2: Identify the Guitar artist.
Brij Bhushan Kabra is associated with Guitar. So: \[ B = \text{Brij Bhushan Kabra} \]

Step 3: Identify the Violin artist.
V. G. Jog is associated with Violin. So: \[ C = \text{V. G. Jog} \]

Step 4: Identify the Santoor artist.
Bhajan Sopori is associated with Santoor. So: \[ A = \text{Bhajan Sopori} \]

Step 5: Identify the Tabla artist.
Kishan Maharaj is associated with Tabla. So: \[ D = \text{Kishan Maharaj} \]

Step 6: Final arrangement.
Therefore: \[ E \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow A \rightarrow D \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(A) E, B, C, A, D}} \]
