Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

	LIST-I Term		LIST-II Meaning
A.	Tarh	I.	Painting Workshop
B.	Rangamizi	II.	Portrait
C.	Chiharanama	III.	Colouring
D.	Nigaar Khana	IV.	Composition

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
These four words come from Persian and Mughal painting practice. They name stages, kinds of work and the place where the work was done.

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.
Tarh is a Persian-origin term for the layout or composition of a picture, the plan of the design. So A matches with IV (Composition).

Step 4: Match item B.
Rangamizi means mixing of colours, that is, the stage of colouring the picture. So B matches with III (Colouring).

Step 5: Match item C.
Chiharanama refers to a portrait. The word comes from chehra, which means face. So C matches with II (Portrait).

Step 6: Match item D.
Nigaar Khana was the painting workshop or studio of the Mughal court where artists worked together. So D matches with I (Painting Workshop).

Step 7: Check option 1.
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 1 is WRONG.

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

Step 9: Check option 3.
This option gives B-I, C-III, D-II, but the correct pairs are 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 2.
\[ \boxed{2} \]
