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

Hint:

Settle each pair in LIST-I first (A: Rabindranath Tagore; B: F. N. Souza), then see which option agrees with all four.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question tests whether you know the main artistic idea linked with four modern Indian artists. Each artist in LIST-I has one signature concept in LIST-II.

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
Find the right partner in LIST-II for each item in LIST-I, one pair at a time. Then compare the full set of four pairs with each given option. The option that matches all four pairs is the answer.

Step 3: Match item A.
Rabindranath Tagore took up painting late in life. He turned scratches, doodles and cross-outs in his manuscripts into rhythmic patterns and calligraphic forms. So A matches with II (Make patterns out of doodles and calligraphy).

Step 4: Match item B.
F. N. Souza was a founder of the Progressive Artists Group. His distorted heads and bold, raw figures shocked viewers and challenged the usual ideas of beauty and morality. So B matches with IV (Challenged the traditional sense of beauty and morality).

Step 5: Match item C.
G. R. Santosh drew on Tantra. His paintings use symbols that show the cosmic union of Purusha and Prakriti, the male and female principles. So C matches with I (Created a visual sense of cosmic union of purusha and prakriti of the Tantric philosophy).

Step 6: Match item D.
Gaganendranath Tagore is the Bengal artist who took up Cubism. His later pictures use vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines and planes to create a mysterious, glowing effect. So D matches with III (A mysterious impact with vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines, inspired by Cubist style).

Step 7: Check option 1.
This option gives B-III, C-IV, D-I, but the correct pairs are B-IV, C-I, D-III. So option 1 is WRONG.

Step 8: Check option 2.
This option gives A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV, but the correct pairs are A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III. So option 2 is WRONG.

Step 9: Check option 3.
Every pair in this option agrees with the pairs found above (A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III). So option 3 is CORRECT.

Step 10: Check option 4.
This option gives A-III, D-II, but the correct pairs are A-II, D-III. So option 4 is WRONG.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III, which is option 3.
\[ \boxed{3} \]
