Match List I with List II Choose the correct answer from the options given below:List I
Subject of Study List II
Domain of StudyA. Anviksiki I. Etymology B. Shiksha II. Interpretation C. Mimāṃsā III. Logic D. Nirukta IV. Phonetics
A - III, B - IV, C - II, D - I
This asks you to match ancient Indian branches of study with their domains.
Anviksiki is the science of reasoning and enquiry — it corresponds to Logic.
Shiksha, one of the Vedangas, deals with correct pronunciation and articulation of Vedic sounds — it corresponds to Phonetics.
Mimamsa is the school devoted to the exegesis and interpretation of Vedic texts and rituals — it corresponds to Interpretation.
Nirukta, another Vedanga, explains the origin and meaning of words — it corresponds to Etymology.
So the correct pairing is Anviksiki–Logic, Shiksha–Phonetics, Mimamsa–Interpretation, Nirukta–Etymology. Any option that links Anviksiki to interpretation or etymology, or Shiksha to anything other than phonetics, breaks these well-known classical definitions.
Takeaway: Anviksiki = Logic, Shiksha = Phonetics, Mimamsa = Interpretation, Nirukta = Etymology.
Correct answer: A - III, B - IV, C - II, D - I
