Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (3):
This option presents the correct and widely recognized associations between the sports and their respective major tournaments and trophies. The Rangaswami Cup, named after a key figure in the sport's promotion, is historically associated with Indian **Hockey**, often being the trophy for the Senior National Hockey Championship, which makes (a)-(iv) the correct match. The **Uber Cup** is internationally known as the trophy for the women's world team championship in **Badminton**, hence (b)-(iii) is correct. The **Rover's Cup** was an annual, historic tournament in India for the sport of **Football**, making (c)-(i) the right pairing. Lastly, the **Davis Cup** is the premier international team competition for men's **Tennis**, and therefore (d)-(ii) is the correct match.

The incorrect option is (1):
This option suggests the completely erroneous pairings of (a)-(i) Hockey-Rover's Cup, (b)-(ii) Badminton-Davis Cup, (c)-(iii) Football-Uber Cup, and (d)-(iv) Tennis-Rangaswami Cup. It fails to correctly identify any of the four associations. For example, Rover's Cup is a football trophy, not hockey. Davis Cup is a men's tennis trophy, not badminton. Uber Cup is a women's badminton trophy, not football. Rangaswami Cup is a hockey trophy, not tennis.

The incorrect option is (2):
This option provides the matching set (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii). While it correctly links **Tennis** with the **Davis Cup** ((d)-(ii)), the other three pairings are wrong. Hockey (a) is incorrectly paired with the Uber Cup (iii), which is a badminton trophy. Badminton (b) is incorrectly paired with the Rover's Cup (i), which is a football trophy. Football (c) is incorrectly paired with the Rangaswami Cup (iv), which is a hockey trophy. Therefore, it contains three fundamental mismatches, rendering it incorrect.

The incorrect option is (4):
This option proposes the matching set (a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii). It correctly links **Hockey** with the **Rangaswami Cup** ((a)-(iv)) and **Football** with the **Rover's Cup** ((c)-(i)). However, it incorrectly matches Badminton (b) with the Davis Cup (ii) and Tennis (d) with the Uber Cup (iii). This represents a common confusion between the two racket sports, as the men's team trophy (Davis Cup) is for tennis and the women's team trophy (Uber Cup) is for badminton, making this option partially but ultimately incorrect.
