| (D) | Vikram Sarabhai | (IV) | Measurement of plant growth |
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
(A) Homi Jehangir Bhabha — this matches (III) Nuclear physics. Bhabha is called the father of India’s nuclear programme; he set up the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay.
(B) Srinivasa Ramanujan — this matches (I) Number theory. The self-taught mathematician worked on partitions, infinite series and highly composite numbers; 1729 is known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number.
(C) Jagdish Chander Bose — this matches (IV) Measurement of plant growth. He invented the crescograph, which magnifies and records the tiny growth of plants.
(D) Vikram Sarabhai — this matches (II) Aerospace. Sarabhai founded the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and is called the father of India’s space programme.
