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

Hint:

Chronology clue: \[ \text{Jaydeva} \rightarrow \text{Amir Khusro} \rightarrow \text{Tansen} \rightarrow \text{Sadarang-Adarang} \rightarrow \text{Haddu-Hassu Khan} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Chronological arrangement means arranging personalities from earliest to latest.

Step 1: Identify the earliest personality.
Jaydeva belongs to the earliest period among the given names. So: \[ E = \text{Jaydeva} \]

Step 2: Place Amir Khusro.
Amir Khusro came after Jaydeva. So: \[ A = \text{Amir Khusro} \]

Step 3: Place Tansen.
Tansen belongs to the Mughal period, especially Akbar's court. So: \[ C = \text{Tansen} \]

Step 4: Place Sadarang-Adarang.
Sadarang and Adarang belong to the later Mughal period. So: \[ B = \text{Sadarang-Adarang} \]

Step 5: Place Haddu-Hassu Khan.
Haddu-Hassu Khan came later in the Gwalior gharana tradition. So: \[ D = \text{Haddu-Hassu Khan} \]

Step 6: Final arrangement.
Thus, the correct chronological order is: \[ E \rightarrow A \rightarrow C \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(A) E, A, C, B, D}} \]
