| List I (Players) | List II (Nick Names) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | Flying Fish | I. | Harbhajan Singh |
| B. | Black Pearl | II. | K. D. Jadhav |
| C. | The Turbanator | III. | Pele |

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
Each nickname in List I is matched with the sportsperson known by it in List II.
A. Flying Fish — this matches IV. Michael Phelps. The American swimmer, winner of a record 23 Olympic gold medals, is called the Flying Fish (also the Baltimore Bullet).
B. Black Pearl — this matches III. Pele. The Brazilian footballer, the only player to win three FIFA World Cups (1958, 1962, 1970), was known as the Black Pearl.
C. The Turbanator — this matches I. Harbhajan Singh. The Indian off-spinner, a turban-wearing Sikh, got this name after his 32 wickets against Australia in the 2001 Test series.
D. Pocket Dynamo — this matches II. K. D. Jadhav. The wrestler Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav, short but powerful, won bronze at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, independent India’s first individual Olympic medal.
Note: It seems that there is a mistake in the original NTA paper, which heads List I ‘(Players)’ and List II ‘(Nick Names)’ when the headings should be the other way round: List I gives the nicknames and List II the players. The matching, and so the answer, is not affected.
