Match List-I (Scientists) with List-II (Well known as) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:
| List-I (Scientists) | List-II (Well known as) |
|---|---|
| A. Birbal Sahni | 1. Mathematician |
| B. Ramanujan Srinivasa | 2. Paleobotanist |
| C. Sir C.V. Raman | 3. Physicist-Botanist |
| D. Sir J.C. Bose | 4. Physicist |
Codes:
| A | B | C | D | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | 3 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
| (b) | 2 | 1 | 4 | 3 |
| (c) | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2 |
| (d) | 2 | 4 | 1 | 3 |
Explanation
The matching of scientists to their respective fields is as follows: Birbal Sahni was a renowned Indian paleobotanist who founded the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany and specialized in fossil plants [t1][t3][t4]. Srinivasa Ramanujan was a legendary mathematician known for his contributions to number theory and mathematical analysis [t4][t7][t9]. Sir C.V. Raman was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist famous for the Raman Effect [t4][t7]. Sir J.C. Bose was a polymath who excelled as both a physicist and a botanist, pioneering research in radio waves and plant physiology using the crescograph [t2][t5][t6][t8]. Therefore, the correct sequence is Birbal Sahni (Paleobotanist - 2), Srinivasa Ramanujan (Mathematician - 1), Sir C.V. Raman (Physicist - 4), and Sir J.C. Bose (Physicist-Botanist - 3). This corresponds to the code (a)-2, (b)-1, (c)-4, (d)-3, which is option 2.
