Hint:

Classification of Indian musical instruments: \[ \text{Tantu Vadya} \rightarrow \text{String Instrument} \] \[ \text{Avanaddha Vadya} \rightarrow \text{Membrane Percussion} \] \[ \text{Ghana Vadya} \rightarrow \text{Solid Percussion} \] \[ \text{Sushira Vadya} \rightarrow \text{Wind Instrument} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Indian musical instruments are traditionally classified into four major categories based on the method of sound production. This classification is described in ancient Indian texts such as the Natyashastra. The four categories are:
• Tantu Vadya -- String Instruments
• Avanaddha Vadya -- Percussion Instruments with Membrane
• Ghana Vadya -- Solid Instruments
• Sushira Vadya -- Wind Instruments

Step 1: Match Tantu Vadya.
\[ \text{Tantu Vadya} \] means: \[ \text{String Instrument} \] \[ \text{Veena} \] is a string instrument. Thus: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match Avanaddha Vadya.
\[ \text{Avanaddha Vadya} \] refers to membrane percussion instruments. \[ \text{Mridangam} \] belongs to this category. Thus: \[ B \rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Match Ghana Vadya.
\[ \text{Ghana Vadya} \] includes solid metallic percussion instruments. \[ \text{Chengala} \] belongs to this category. Thus: \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Match Sushira Vadya.
\[ \text{Sushira Vadya} \] means wind instruments. \[ \text{Flute} \] belongs to this category. Thus: \[ D \rightarrow I \]

Step 5: Write the final matching sequence.
The correct matching is: \[ A\text{-}III,\ B\text{-}IV,\ C\text{-}II,\ D\text{-}I \]

Step 6: Compare with the given options.
Among the given choices: \[ (A)\ A\text{-}IV,\ B\text{-}II,\ C\text{-}I,\ D\text{-}III \] \[ (B)\ A\text{-}III,\ B\text{-}I,\ C\text{-}IV,\ D\text{-}II \] \[ (C)\ A\text{-}III,\ B\text{-}IV,\ C\text{-}II,\ D\text{-}I \] \[ (D)\ A\text{-}II,\ B\text{-}I,\ C\text{-}III,\ D\text{-}IV \] the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{A\text{-}III,\ B\text{-}IV,\ C\text{-}II,\ D\text{-}I} \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{(C)}} \]
