	LIST-I Artist		LIST-II Art Form/Social Issue
A.	G. R. Santosh	I.	Hungry Bengal
B.	Chittaprasad	II.	Tantric philosophy
C.	Atul Dodiya	III.	Photorealism
D.	Vivan Sundaram	IV.	Installation

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Settle each pair in LIST-I first (A: Tantric philosophy; B: Hungry Bengal), then see which option agrees with all four.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question links four artists with the art form or social issue they are best known for. Each of these artists has one clear signature area.

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.
G. R. Santosh is the main Neo-Tantric painter. His canvases use Tantric symbols and ideas. So A matches with II (Tantric philosophy).

Step 4: Match item B.
Chittaprasad recorded the Bengal famine of 1943 in drawings and linocuts. His work is linked with the theme of Hungry Bengal. So B matches with I (Hungry Bengal).

Step 5: Match item C.
Atul Dodiya often works in a photorealist manner, painting pictures that look like photographs. So C matches with III (Photorealism).

Step 6: Match item D.
Vivan Sundaram moved from painting to installation art, using objects and photographs placed in a space. So D matches with IV (Installation).

Step 7: Check option 1.
This option gives A-I, B-II, but the correct pairs are A-II, B-I. So option 1 is WRONG.

Step 8: Check option 2.
Every pair in this option agrees with the pairs found above (A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV). So option 2 is CORRECT.

Step 9: Check option 3.
This option gives A-IV, B-II, D-I, but the correct pairs are A-II, B-I, D-IV. So option 3 is WRONG.

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

Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV, which is option 2.
\[ \boxed{2} \]
