Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Identify the 1947 recipient

Semmangudi R. S. Srinivasa Iyer was the musician conferred the Sangeetha Kalanidhi by the Music Academy in 1947.

Step 2: Compute his age at the time

Semmangudi was born in 1908, so his age in 1947 was $1947-1908=39$ years.

Step 3: Compare with the others

The other named artists either received the title in different years (later) or were older at the time they were honoured. Since Semmangudi was 39 when he received the Sangeetha Kalanidhi in 1947, he was the youngest among the listed recipients.
