Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Recall the facts:
The question matches leaders with the parties they belonged to in the early years after Independence.

Step 2: Match the leaders:
(a) Deendayal Upadhyay was a leader of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, so (a) matches (iv).
(b) Ashok Mehta was a leader of the Socialist Party, so (b) matches (iii).
(c) Sardar Patel was a senior leader of the Congress Party, so (c) matches (ii).
(d) A.K. Gopalan was a leader of the Communist Party of India, so (d) matches (i).

Step 3: Pick the code:
The correct code is a-(iv), b-(iii), c-(ii), d-(i). This is option (D).

Step 4: Why the other options are wrong:
Option (A) gives Deendayal Upadhyay to the Congress, which is wrong.
Option (B) gives him to the Socialist Party, which is wrong.
Option (C) gives him the right party but puts Sardar Patel with the Socialist Party, which is wrong.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is a-(iv), b-(iii), c-(ii), d-(i), so option (D) is right.
