Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists : List-I (Theory/Law/Principle) 1. Electromagnetism 2. Principles of inheritence 3. Laws of intetia List II (scientist) a. Darwin b. Farady c. Mendel d. Newton codes : a b c d

The matching of scientific theories to their respective scientists is as follows: 1. Electromagnetism is associated with Michael Faraday (Farady), who discovered electromagnetic induction and the relationship between electricity and magnetism [t2][t7]. 2. Principles of inheritance were established by Gregor Mendel, who conducted experiments on garden peas to formulate the laws of heredity [c1][t1]. 3. Laws of inertia are attributed to Isaac Newton, whose First Law of Motion defines inertia as the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Additionally, Charles Darwin is renowned for the theory of evolution by natural selection [c2][c3]. Matching List-I (1, 2, 3) with List-II (b, c, d) results in the sequence 2, 3, 4. Darwin (a) remains an extra entry in List-II. Therefore, the correct code sequence is 2-3-4-1, where '1' represents the unused scientist Darwin in the fourth position of the code sequence.
