List-I (Scientists) List-II (Well known as)
A. Birbal Sahni1. Mathematician
B. Ramanujan Srinivasa2. Paleobotanist
C. Sir C.V. Raman3. Physicist-Botanist
D. Sir J.C. Bose4. Physicist

Codes:

A B C D
(a)3142
(b)2143
(c)3412
(d)2413

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
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.
