• A. A
• B. B
• C. E
• D. F

Answer 1

The correct option is D F

Clearly, A wrote poetry and contributed to Marathi literature in 20th century. The other person than A who contribute to Marathi literature is C.

(i) So, C contributed to poetry, novel and drama.

Also, A,C, D and F are the four poets out of which F contributed to poetry only. (ii) Thus, F is in 17th century and contributed to Bengali.

Notice that D is Hindi and the only person to contribute to poetry and novel. (iii) Also, D and E belongs to 19th century.

The only person to contribute to novel and drama can be E since none of others have this combination.

(iv) Thus, E is the tamil writer from 19th century.

All we can say about B is that he contributed to drama and was Hindi since there are two Hindi writers.

(v) One of B and C belongs to 19th century and the other to 17th.

Hence, F contributed to Bengali literature.
