Remember the birth chronology of these Indian sculptors: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} 1916 &\rightarrow \text{Sankho Chaudhuri}, 1921 &\rightarrow \text{Somnath Hore}, 1922 &\rightarrow \text{Amar Nath Sehgal}, \text{Later} &\rightarrow \text{Lydia Mehta}, \text{Youngest} &\rightarrow \text{Ved Nayar}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Sankho $\rightarrow$ Somnath $\rightarrow$ Sehgal $\rightarrow$ Lydia $\rightarrow$ Ved.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: The question requires arranging the given Indian sculptors according to their birth years. Their approximate chronology is:
• Sankho Chaudhuri -- Born in 1916.
• Somnath Hore -- Born in 1921.
• Amar Nath Sehgal -- Born in 1922.
• Lydia Mehta -- Born later than Amar Nath Sehgal.
• Ved Nayar -- Belongs to a younger generation than the above artists.

Step 1: Arrange the sculptors from earliest to latest birth year. \[ \boxed{ \text{Sankho Chaudhuri} \rightarrow \text{Somnath Hore} \rightarrow \text{Amar Nath Sehgal} \rightarrow \text{Lydia Mehta} \rightarrow \text{Ved Nayar} } \]

Step 2: Match with the given letters. \[ \begin{aligned} \text{Sankho Chaudhuri} &\rightarrow A, \text{Somnath Hore} &\rightarrow D, \text{Amar Nath Sehgal} &\rightarrow B, \text{Lydia Mehta} &\rightarrow C, \text{Ved Nayar} &\rightarrow E. \end{aligned} \] Thus, \[ \boxed{A,\ D,\ B,\ C,\ E} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(D)}} \]
