Match the following :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (a) Train of characteristics | (i) A basic class with one or more isolate idea |
| (b) Facet | (ii) Component of facet |
| (c) Isolate | (iii) Totality of divisions produced by a chain of characteristics |
| (d) Unitary class | (iv) A set of characteristics having categorized relationship |
Answer: D
The key's matching is (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i).
The surest pairing is (c): in Ranganathan's terminology an isolate is a component of a facet, a single idea such as 'child' or 'India' that combines with a basic subject. Only the last option pairs isolate with 'component of facet', and the other pairs follow the terms as the key defines them: a facet as the totality of divisions produced by a train (chain) of characteristics, a train of characteristics as a set of characteristics in a categorised relationship, and a unitary class as a basic class combined with isolate ideas.
The other options give isolate the meaning of a facet, a unitary class or a train, which are larger or different units.
