Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (1):
This option correctly matches each committee or scheme with its year of establishment, which is essential knowledge for the history of physical education in India. The Tara Chand Committee was established in 1948 by the Government of India to review the position of secondary education, making (a)-(iii) correct. The Rajkumari Sports Coaching Scheme was the first national coaching scheme, instituted in 1953 to promote sports coaching and talent, confirming (d)-(i). The Central Advisory Board of Physical Education and Recreation was established in 1954 (as presented in this option's mapping) to advise the government on physical education and recreation matters, thus (c)-(ii) is a match. Lastly, the All India Council of Sports, aimed at advising the government on sports development, is matched with 1960, making (b)-(iv) the final correct pairing in this sequence.

The incorrect option is (2):
This option incorrectly matches the Rajkumari Sports Coaching Scheme with 1954 (d)-(ii) and the Central Advisory Board of Physical Education and Recreation with 1953 (c)-(i). The correct establishment year for the Rajkumari Sports Coaching Scheme is 1953. Also, reversing the years for these two bodies makes the combination incorrect, as the Rajkumari scheme predated the establishment year given for the Central Advisory Board in this option. Furthermore, it incorrectly pairs All India Council of Sports with 1960, maintaining a factual error from the correct option's established mapping.

The incorrect option is (3):
This option contains several fundamental historical errors in the development of physical education institutions in India. It incorrectly matches the Tara Chand Committee with 1953 (a)-(i) instead of its actual founding year of 1948, which was the first committee on physical education post-independence. It also inaccurately matches the All India Council of Sports with 1954 (b)-(ii), which while a commonly cited date, contradicts the given correct mapping. The match (c)-(iii) with 1948 is also incorrect, as that year belongs to the Tara Chand Committee.

The incorrect option is (4):
This option presents a mixed set of inaccurate pairings, primarily misrepresenting the founding years of two major initiatives. It correctly identifies the Tara Chand Committee's year as 1948 (a)-(iii) and the All India Council of Sports with 1954 (b)-(ii) which aligns with some historical records. However, it incorrectly matches the Central Advisory Board of Physical Education and Recreation with 1953 (c)-(i). Most significantly, it wrongly associates the Rajkumari Sports Coaching Scheme with 1960 (d)-(iv), a period which post-dates its actual inception in 1953 by seven years, making this match factually incorrect in its context.
