Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Rabindranath Tagore composed literary works over several decades. To solve chronology questions, we identify the approximate composition period of each play or story.

Step 1: Understanding the period of Jeevit-Mrat. Jeevit-Mrat belongs to Tagore's earlier literary phase. Thus: \[ E \text{ comes first} \]

Step 2: Understanding the period of Visarjan. Visarjan is one of Tagore's important dramatic works composed later than Jeevit-Mrat. Hence: \[ A \text{ comes after } E \]

Step 3: Understanding the period of Raja. Raja was written during Tagore's mature philosophical dramatic period. Thus: \[ B \text{ comes after } A \]

Step 4: Understanding the period of Dakghar. Dakghar became internationally famous and belongs to Tagore's later dramatic phase. Hence: \[ C \text{ comes after } B \]

Step 5: Understanding the period of Raktakarbi. Raktakarbi belongs to Tagore's mature symbolic and philosophical theatre period and is among the latest works listed here. Thus: \[ D \text{ comes last} \]

Step 6: Final chronological arrangement. Therefore: \[ \textit{Jeevit-Mrat} \rightarrow \textit{Visarjan} \rightarrow \textit{Raja} \rightarrow \textit{Dakghar} \rightarrow \textit{Raktakarbi} \] Hence: \[ \boxed{E, A, B, C, D} \]
