Match the following :

List I	List II
(a) Richardson	(i) Principles of book classification
(b) Hulme	(ii) Canons of classification
(c) Sayers	(iii) Prolegomena to library classification
(d) Ranganathan	(iv) Classification : Theoretical and Practical

Answer: D

The correct matching is (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii).

E.C. Richardson: Classification: Theoretical and Practical (1901).
E. Wyndham Hulme: Principles of Book Classification (1911-12), which introduced literary warrant.
W.C. Berwick Sayers: Canons of Classification (1915).
S.R. Ranganathan: Prolegomena to Library Classification (1937).

Prolegomena is unmistakably Ranganathan's, and only the last option gives it to him.
