Philosophy shortcut: \[ \text{Nyaya--Gotama,\ Samkhya--Kapila,\ Yoga--Patanjali,\ Mimansa--Jaimini} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Indian philosophy has six orthodox schools known as Shad-Darshanas. Each school is associated with a major sage or propounder.

Step 1: Match Nyaya.
Nyaya philosophy is associated with Gautama or Gotama. So, \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match Samkhya.
Samkhya philosophy is associated with Kapila. So, \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Match Yoga.
Yoga philosophy is associated with Patanjali. So, \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Match Purva Mimansa.
Purva Mimansa is associated with Jaimini. So, \[ D \rightarrow II \] Thus, the correct matching is: \[ A-III,\ B-I,\ C-IV,\ D-II \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(B)}} \]
