C. This was known as Rathera.
D. Many historians are of the view that the game of Kho-Kho is a modified version of ‘Run and Chase’.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (A) BDAC

आरंभिक वाक्य: B, Kho-Kho is one of the popular indigenous games of India, नाम भी देता है और यह भी बताता है कि वह क्या है। बाकी सब Kho-Kho को पहले से ज्ञात मानकर बात करते हैं।
कड़ी: B → D (Many historians say the game is a modified version of Run and Chase) → A (प्राचीन काल में खेल का a version रथों पर खेला जाता था) → C (This was known as Rathera, जहाँ This = वही रूप)।
✓
B-D-A-C
A-C प्रबल जोड़ी (Strong pair) है। BCAD और ADCB इसे तोड़ते हैं, और CADB This से शुरू होता है।
Opener: B, Kho-Kho is one of the popular indigenous games of India, gives the name and says what it is. Everyone else talks about Kho-Kho as already known.
Chain: B → D (Many historians say the game is a modified version of Run and Chase) → A (a version of the game was played on raths in ancient times) → C (This was known as Rathera, where This = that version).
✓
B-D-A-C
A-C is a strong pair. BCAD and ADCB split it, and CADB begins with This.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

BCADB में C से आरंभ है, 'This was known as Rathera', जो रोचक प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'This' पहले बताई गई बात की ओर संकेत करता है, अतः C आरंभ नहीं कर सकता।CADB opens with C, 'This was known as Rathera', which sounds like a catchy start. But 'This' refers to something already described, so C cannot open.
CBCAD में B से आरंभ सही है। परंतु C, 'This was known as Rathera', A में बताए रथ वाले रूप की ओर संकेत करता है, अतः A, C से पहले आएगा।BCAD opens correctly with B. But C, 'This was known as Rathera', points to the chariot version described in A, so A must come before C.
DADCB में A से आरंभ है क्योंकि 'In ancient era' इतिहास का स्वाभाविक आरंभ लगा। परंतु A Kho-Kho को ज्ञात मानकर बात करता है; खेल का परिचय पहले B देता है, अतः A आरंभ नहीं कर सकता।ADCB opens with A because 'In ancient era' feels like a natural start for a history. But A speaks of Kho-Kho as known; B introduces the game first, so A cannot open.
