Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A chronology question is solved by assigning each person a verified tenure and sorting the start dates from earliest to latest.
When two tenures share a year, their documented order in the authoritative office-holder list resolves the sequence.
Application
Statement letter | Chairperson | Tenure |
|---|---|---|
E | Madhuri R. Shah | 1981–1986 |
D | Yash Pal | 1986–1991 |
C | Manmohan Singh | 1991 |
B | G. Ram Reddy | 1991–1995 |
A | Armaity S. Desai | 1995–1999 |
Madhuri R. Shah served in 1981–1986, followed by Yash Pal in 1986–1991.
The official list places Manmohan Singh's 1991 tenure immediately before G. Ram Reddy's 1991–1995 tenure.
Armaity S. Desai then served in 1995–1999.
Cross-check and contrast
A, E, B, D, C begins with Armaity S. Desai (1995–1999) before Madhuri R. Shah (1981–1986).
B, C, E, A, D moves Madhuri R. Shah (1981–1986) after two 1991 entries.
C, D, A, E, B begins with Manmohan Singh (1991) before the 1980s tenures.
E, D, C, B, A follows the ascending tenure order shown in the official UGC list.
Therefore, the chronological sequence is E, D, C, B, A.
