Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Literature.
According to the source, the Saraswati Samman Award was instituted by the KK Birla Foundation in 1991.
It is given annually for an outstanding literary work written in any official Indian language and published during the preceding ten years.
The book further states that the award carries a cash purse of Rs 15 lakh, apart from a citation and a plaque.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Saraswati Samman — Literature — KK Birla Foundation — instituted in 1991 — annual award — outstanding literary work — any official Indian language — work published during preceding 10 years — Rs 15 lakh cash purse plus citation and plaque according to source.
Music, Journalism and Dance are distractors.
The monetary amount is preserved as the figure printed in the source and should not automatically be treated as the current prize amount.
The source does not name any recipient in this particular entry.
Quick revision: Saraswati Samman = Literature = KK Birla Foundation = 1991.
Therefore option (b) is correct.

सही उत्तर Literature अर्थात साहित्य है। स्रोत के अनुसार Saraswati Samman Award की स्थापना KK Birla Foundation ने 1991 में की थी। यह award annually किसी official Indian language में लिखे गए outstanding literary work के लिए दिया जाता है, जो preceding 10 years के दौरान published हुआ हो। Book आगे बताती है कि award में Rs 15 lakh की cash purse के साथ citation और plaque दिया जाता है। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Saraswati Samman — Literature — KK Birla Foundation — 1991 — Annual Award — Outstanding Literary Work — Official Indian Language — Preceding 10 Years में Published Work — Source के अनुसार Rs 15 Lakh + Citation + Plaque। Music, Journalism और Dance distractors हैं। Rs 15 lakh की राशि source में printed figure है और इसे automatically current amount नहीं माना जाना चाहिए। Source इस entry में किसी recipient का नाम नहीं देती। Quick revision: Saraswati Samman = Literature = KK Birla Foundation = 1991। इसलिए विकल्प (b) सही उत्तर है।
