Explanation

  • The Durand Cup is a prestigious annual domestic football competition in India, making its correct match Football (P-2).
  • The Duleep Trophy is a domestic first-class cricket tournament in India, correctly matching it with Cricket (Q-3).
  • The Uber Cup is the premier international women's team championship in badminton, correctly pairing it with Badminton (R-4).
  • The Wimbledon Championships is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, making its correct match Tennis (S-1).

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option A: This option incorrectly pairs the Duleep Trophy with Badminton and the Uber Cup with Cricket. The Duleep Trophy is for Cricket, and the Uber Cup is for Badminton.
  • Option B: This option makes multiple incorrect pairings: Duleep Trophy to Football, Uber Cup to Tennis, and Wimbledon to Badminton. The Durand Cup is for Football, not the Duleep Trophy.
  • Option C: This option incorrectly matches the Durand Cup with Cricket and the Duleep Trophy with Badminton. The Durand Cup is a football tournament.

Clinical Relevance
  • Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Matching sports trophies with their corresponding sports as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
  • This is a general knowledge question designed to test awareness of major sporting events.
  • Clinical relevance is not directly applicable to this question.
  • What if? If the question asked for the 'Thomas Cup' instead of the 'Uber Cup', the correct sport would still be Badminton, as the Thomas Cup is the men's world team championship.
How to Approach the Question
  • First, carefully read the items in both columns (Col X: Trophies, Col Y: Sports).
  • Identify any matches you are certain about. For example, Wimbledon is famously a major Tennis tournament (S-1).
  • Look at the options provided. Any option that does not have 'S-1' can be immediately eliminated.
  • Next, match another trophy you know, such as the Durand Cup (Football, P-2) or Duleep Trophy (Cricket, Q-3).
  • Check which of the remaining options contains these correct pairs.
  • By using the process of elimination, you can find the option where all pairs (P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1) are correctly matched.
