Correct Answerसही उत्तर

D. KeralaD. केरल

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Kerala.
According to the source, Raja Ravi Varma, considered one of the greatest painters of India, hailed from Kerala.
The book further states that Raja Ravi Varma was closely related to the royal family of Travancore of present-day Kerala state in India.
Therefore the source-supported revision chain is: Raja Ravi Varma → prominent Indian painter → Kerala → closely related to the royal family of Travancore → present-day Kerala.
Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal are distractors.
This question can also be revised alongside the earlier source question stating that Raja Ravi Varma received the Kaisar-i-Hind Gold Medal from Viceroy Lord Curzon in 1904.
However, the direct fact required in Q849 is his state association, and the source explicitly identifies Kerala.
No additional claims about his birthplace, individual paintings or artistic style have been added because they are not provided in this particular explanation.
Quick revision: Raja Ravi Varma = Kerala = close relation to Travancore royal family according to source.
Therefore option (d) is correct.

सही उत्तर Kerala अर्थात केरल है। स्रोत के अनुसार Raja Ravi Varma, जिन्हें India के greatest painters में से एक माना गया है, Kerala से संबंध रखते थे। Book आगे बताती है कि Raja Ravi Varma present-day Kerala के Travancore royal family से closely related थे। इसलिए source-supported revision chain है: Raja Ravi Varma → Famous Indian Painter → Kerala → Travancore Royal Family से Close Relation → Present-day Kerala। Maharashtra, Karnataka और West Bengal distractors हैं। इसे earlier source question के साथ भी revise किया जा सकता है जिसमें Raja Ravi Varma को 1904 में Viceroy Lord Curzon द्वारा Kaisar-i-Hind Gold Medal दिए जाने की जानकारी थी। लेकिन Q849 का direct fact उनका state association है और source Kerala को स्पष्ट रूप से answer बताती है। Quick revision: Raja Ravi Varma = Kerala = Travancore Royal Family association according to source। इसलिए विकल्प (d) सही है।
