Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Concept

A Brahmana is a prose text attached to a Vedic tradition that explains ritual practice and the meaning of Vedic recitation.

The reliable method is to recall each Veda together with its associated Brahmana tradition, then translate those associations into the numbered code.

Application

Apply the established associations to the two lists:

Veda

Associated Brahmana

Code

Rigveda

Kaushitaki (Shankhayana) Brahmana

A-2

Yajurveda

Shatapatha Brahmana

B-3

Samaveda

Panchavimsha (Tandya) Brahmana

C-4

Atharvaveda

Gopatha Brahmana

D-1

Cross-check and contrast

  • A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1 reproduces all four established associations.

  • A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1 assigns Shatapatha to Rigveda and Panchavimsha to Yajurveda, reversing their Vedic associations.

  • A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4 assigns Gopatha to Yajurveda and Shatapatha to Samaveda rather than to their associated Vedas.

  • A-1, B-2, C-4, D-3 assigns Gopatha to Rigveda and Kaushitaki to Yajurveda, while Gopatha belongs with Atharvaveda and Kaushitaki with Rigveda.

Result

Therefore the required code is A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1.
