Question

Match List-I with List-II (Musical Instrument Components):

Component (List-I)		Instrument (List-II)
A. Bow	→	Violin
B. Toppi	→	Mridangam
C. Holes	→	Flute
D. Frets	→	Veena

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• C. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
• D. A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III

Hint:

Always consider the specific function or part of each instrument when matching such lists.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Concept
Understanding the components and their functions of various stringed and wind musical instruments.

Step 2: Meaning
List - I contains elements related to specific musical instruments: Bow-Violin, Toppi-Mridangam, Holes-Flute, Frets-Veena. List - II lists parts or features of these instruments: IV-Bow, III-Toppi, II-Holes, I-Frets.

Step 3: Analysis
Let's analyze each element from List - I and match it with the correct part in List - II: 1. Bow-Violin: The bow is a crucial component for playing the violin as it is used to draw across the strings to produce sound. 2. Toppi-Mridangam: Toppi refers to the small, decorative top piece of the mridangam, which is an important feature but not directly related to its function in producing sound. 3. Holes-Flute: Holes on a flute are essential as they control the pitch by changing the length of the air column when covered or uncovered. 4. Frets-Veena: Frets on a veena (or any stringed instrument) help in accurately tuning and playing specific notes. Matching these, we get: A. Bow-Violin: IV-Bow B. Toppi-Mridangam: III-Toppi C. Holes-Flute: II-Holes D. Frets-Veena: I-Frets Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.

Step 4: Conclusion
The given answer key correctly matches List - I with List - II based on the components and their functions in musical instruments. Final Answer: (A)
