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

Hint:

Ayurveda is medicine, Dhanurveda is archery, Jyotisha is astronomy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Break the names into meaning.
Each Sanskrit name ends in a word that tells its field. 'Shilpa' means craft or sculpture, 'Ayu' means life, 'Dhanu' means bow, and 'Jyotish' comes from 'jyoti', light of the stars. We use these roots to match.

Step 2: Match A, Shilpashastra.
Shilpashastra is the old body of texts on sculpture, temple building and design. This is the Science of Architecture, which is IV. So A-IV.

Step 3: Match B, Ayurveda.
Ayurveda means the knowledge of life. It covers health, diet and treatment, with Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita as main texts. This is the Science of Medicine, which is I. So B-I.

Step 4: Match C, Dhanurveda.
Dhanurveda is the science of the bow, and more widely of warfare and weapons. This is the Science of Archery, which is II. So C-II.

Step 5: Match D, Jyotisha.
Jyotisha is the study of the stars and planets, and is one of the Vedangas. This is Astronomy, which is III. So D-III.

Step 6: Compare with the options.
Our pairing is A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III. Option 1 pairs A with I, which is wrong. Option 2 pairs A with I again, wrong. Option 3 also pairs A with I, wrong. Only option 4 matches all four.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III, which is option 4. \[ \boxed{\text{A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III}} \]
