The first 3 of 30 questions. Unlock the series for the rest, each with a solution.

  1. Q1. Read the two statements about the Mahabharata and choose the correct option: (I) The critical edition of the Mahabharata, prepared under V.S. Sukthankar, took 47 years to complete. (II) Patriliny means tracing descent from mother to daughter. Which is/are correct?

    महाभारत के बारे में दिए गए दो कथनों को पढ़ें और सही विकल्प चुनें: (I) वी.एस. सुकथनकर के निर्देशन में तैयार किए गए महाभारत के समीक्षात्मक संस्करण को पूरा होने में 47 वर्ष लगे। (II) पितृवंशिकता का अर्थ है वंश का पता माता से पुत्री तक लगाना। कौन-सा/से कथन सही है/हैं?

    • A. Both statements are correct / दोनों कथन सही हैं
    • B. Neither statement is correct / कोई भी कथन सही नहीं है
    • C. Only statement I is correct / केवल कथन I सही है
    • D. Only statement II is correct / केवल कथन II सही है
    Solution

    The critical edition project did take 47 years, so statement I is correct. Patriliny means descent is traced from father to son, not mother to daughter, so statement II is wrong.

    समीक्षात्मक संस्करण की परियोजना में वास्तव में 47 वर्ष लगे, इसलिए कथन I सही है। पितृवंशिकता का अर्थ है वंश का पता पिता से पुत्र तक लगाना, न कि माता से पुत्री तक, इसलिए कथन II गलत है।

  2. Q2. Consider these statements about 'stridhana' as described in the textbook: (i) It was the wealth, such as gifts received at marriage, that was regarded as a woman's own. (ii) A woman's husband had the full right to claim and use her stridhana as he wished. Which is/are correct?

    पाठ्यपुस्तक में वर्णित 'स्त्रीधन' के बारे में इन कथनों पर विचार करें: (i) यह वह धन था, जैसे विवाह के समय प्राप्त उपहार, जिसे स्त्री का अपना माना जाता था। (ii) स्त्री के पति को उसके स्त्रीधन पर दावा करने और उसे अपनी इच्छानुसार उपयोग करने का पूर्ण अधिकार था। कौन-सा/से सही है/हैं?

    • A. Only (i) / केवल (i)
    • B. Neither (i) nor (ii) / न तो (i) और न ही (ii)
    • C. Both (i) and (ii) / (i) और (ii) दोनों
    • D. Only (ii) / केवल (ii)
    Solution

    Stridhana ('woman's wealth') could be inherited by her children and the husband had no right over it, so (i) is correct and (ii) is wrong.

    स्त्रीधन ('स्त्री का धन') उसकी संतान द्वारा विरासत में प्राप्त किया जा सकता था और पति का इस पर कोई अधिकार नहीं था, अतः (i) सही है और (ii) गलत है।

  3. Q3. The Purusha sukta hymn explains the origin of the four varnas from the body of the primeval man (Purusha). Which of the following pairs (varna – part of the body) is correctly matched?

    पुरुष सूक्त नामक सूक्त आदिपुरुष (पुरुष) के शरीर से चार वर्णों की उत्पत्ति की व्याख्या करता है। निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा युग्म (वर्ण – शरीर का भाग) सही ढंग से सुमेलित है?

    • A. Vaishya – feet / वैश्य – पैर
    • B. Brahmana – mouth / ब्राह्मण – मुख
    • C. Kshatriya – thighs / क्षत्रिय – जाँघें
    • D. Shudra – arms / शूद्र – भुजाएँ
    Solution

    Brahmanas came from the mouth, Kshatriyas from the arms, Vaishyas from the thighs and Shudras from the feet. Only 'Brahmana – mouth' is matched correctly here.

    ब्राह्मण मुख से, क्षत्रिय भुजाओं से, वैश्य जाँघों से और शूद्र पैरों से उत्पन्न हुए। यहाँ केवल 'ब्राह्मण – मुख' ही सही ढंग से सुमेलित है।
