This question was previously asked in
CDS 1 2026 Maths Question Paper (12-Apr-2026)
The correct answer is
ABCD
2413

To solve this question, we need to match the words or expressions in List I with their corresponding meanings in List II. Here’s a breakdown of each term:

  1. Tautological: This term refers to something that is repetitious. A tautological statement is one that repeats an idea in different words, adding no new information, e.g., "free gift." Thus, the correct match for 'Tautological' is 2. Repetitious.
  2. Ontological: This relates to existence or the nature of being. In philosophy, it concerns the study of what there is. Hence, 'Ontological' matches with 4. Related to existence.
  3. Epistemological: This term is associated with knowledge. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with the theory of knowledge. So, 'Epistemological' corresponds to 1. Related to knowledge.
  4. Epidemiological: This is related to the study of the distribution and determinants of diseases in populations. Thus, the correct match for 'Epidemiological' is 3. Related to diseases.

Based on these explanations, the correct matching is:

List I (Word/Expression/Specialised term)List II (Meaning)
A. Tautological2. Repetitious
B. Ontological4. Related to existence
C. Epistemological1. Related to knowledge
D. Epidemiological3. Related to diseases

Thus, the code for the correct answer is 2 4 1 3.

This is option 2 4 1 3 from the given list of options, which matches correctly with the provided answer.
