Match List-I (Indian Scientist) with List-II (Area) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists

(Indian ScientisT) | (Area)
A. S. K. Vasal | 1. Agriculture
B. C. N. R. Rao | 2. Medical Science
C. P. Venugopal | 3. Physics
D. B. V. Rao | 4. Poultry

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 (A-1, B-3, C-2, D-4). This matching accurately aligns each scientist with their specialized field of contribution:

  • S. K. Vasal (Agriculture): A renowned plant breeder, he was awarded the World Food Prize for developing Quality Protein Maize (QPM), significantly impacting global food security.
  • C. N. R. Rao (Physics/Chemistry): While primarily a structural chemist, his work in solid-state and materials chemistry is deeply rooted in Physics. He is a Bharat Ratna awardee known for his research on superconductivity and nanomaterials.
  • P. Venugopal (Medical Science): A pioneer in cardiac surgery, he performed India’s first successful heart transplant at AIIMS, Delhi.
  • B. V. Rao (Poultry): Known as the "Father of the Indian Poultry Industry," he founded Venkateshwara Hatcheries and revolutionized the commercial poultry sector.

Other options are incorrect because they mismatch these foundational contributions; for instance, swapping Dr. Venugopal’s medical expertise with physics or agriculture contradicts historical facts.
