Question

Arrange the following in chronological order: \[ \text{A. Somnath Hore} \] \[ \text{B. Vijay Bagodi} \] \[ \text{C. H. G. Venugopal} \] \[ \text{D. Raja Ravi Varma} \] \[ \text{E. Laxma Goud} \]

• A. A, C, B, D, E
• B. E, A, B, D, C
• C. D, A, E, B, C
• D. A, D, B, C, E

Hint:

In chronology questions, first identify the oldest artist. Here Raja Ravi Varma is the earliest, so the correct sequence must begin with \(D\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Chronological order means arranging artists from earlier to later according to their historical period.

Step 1: Identify the earliest artist.
Raja Ravi Varma belongs to the nineteenth century and early modern phase of Indian painting. So, he comes first: \[ D = \text{Raja Ravi Varma} \]

Step 2: Place Somnath Hore.
Somnath Hore belongs to the twentieth century and is important in modern Indian printmaking and sculpture. So, he comes after Raja Ravi Varma: \[ A = \text{Somnath Hore} \]

Step 3: Place Laxma Goud.
Laxma Goud is a later modern Indian artist known for printmaking and drawing. So, the next is: \[ E = \text{Laxma Goud} \]

Step 4: Place Vijay Bagodi and H. G. Venugopal.
Vijay Bagodi comes after Laxma Goud in this sequence. H. G. Venugopal is placed last in the given chronological order. Thus: \[ B = \text{Vijay Bagodi} \] \[ C = \text{H. G. Venugopal} \]

Step 5: Final arrangement.
The correct chronological order is: \[ D \rightarrow A \rightarrow E \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(C) D, A, E, B, C}} \]
