The Ashok Chakra Class-III was renamed as the ______ in 1967.
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. Shaurya ChakraB. शौर्य चक्र
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Shaurya Chakra.
According to the source, Ashok Chakra Class-III was renamed as Shaurya Chakra in 1967.
The explanation states that in 1967 the decorations were removed from the class-based system and all Classes I, II and III were renamed.
The source does not provide the corresponding new names of Classes I and II in this particular entry.
Therefore they have not been supplied from outside knowledge.
For this question, the key source-supported association is straightforward: Ashok Chakra Class-III → renamed in 1967 → Shaurya Chakra.
Kirti Chakra, Vir Chakra and Mahavir Chakra are distractors.
Students should distinguish this question from questions asking about order of precedence among gallantry awards, because this item specifically concerns the renaming of an older class-based decoration.
The year 1967 is also central to the question and should be memorised together with the new name.
Quick revision: Ashok Chakra Class-III = Shaurya Chakra after renaming in 1967.
Therefore option (b) is correct.
सही उत्तर Shaurya Chakra है। स्रोत के अनुसार Ashok Chakra Class-III का नाम 1967 में बदलकर Shaurya Chakra कर दिया गया। Explanation बताती है कि 1967 में decorations को class-based system से हटाया गया और Class I, II तथा III सभी के नाम बदल दिए गए। Source इस particular entry में Class I और Class II के नए नाम नहीं देती, इसलिए उन्हें outside knowledge से add नहीं किया गया है। इस question के लिए मुख्य association है: Ashok Chakra Class-III → 1967 → Shaurya Chakra। Kirti Chakra, Vir Chakra और Mahavir Chakra distractors हैं। इसे gallantry awards के order of precedence वाले questions से अलग समझना चाहिए, क्योंकि यहां पुराने class-based decoration के renaming के बारे में पूछा गया है। Quick revision: Ashok Chakra Class-III = Shaurya Chakra, renamed in 1967। इसलिए विकल्प (b) सही उत्तर है।
