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

Hint:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The six limbs of Indian painting (Shadanga) are Roopbheda, Pramanani, Bhava, Lavanya Yojanam, Sadrishya and Varnikabhanga. This question asks for the meaning of four of them.

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.
Roopbheda is the limb of art that deals with the forms, looks and appearance of things, the different kinds of visible shape. So A matches with IV (Roopbheda).

Step 4: Match item B.
Sadrishya means likeness. It is the limb about showing resemblance of a figure to what it represents. So B matches with III (Sadrishya).

Step 5: Match item C.
Bhava is about feelings and emotions. It deals with how expression is shown through the face and body. So C matches with II (Bhava).

Step 6: Match item D.
Varnikabhanga is about the handling of colour and brush, which means the way colours are mixed and applied. So D matches with I (Varnikabhanga).

Step 7: Check option 1.
Every pair in this option agrees with the pairs found above (A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I). So option 1 is CORRECT.

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

Step 9: Check option 3.
This option gives A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV, but the correct pairs are A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I. 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-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I. So option 4 is WRONG.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I, which is option 1.
\[ \boxed{1} \]
