Correct Answerसही उत्तर

B. 1961B. 1961

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 1961.
According to the source, the Jnanpith Award is the highest literary honour conferred in India.
The explanation states that it was founded by the Sahu Jain family in 1961.
Therefore the direct source-supported revision chain is: Jnanpith Award → literary honour in India → source describes it as the highest literary honour → founded by the Sahu Jain family → 1961.
The years 1972, 1957 and 1969 are distractors.
The question uses the wording 'conceived in the year', whereas the explanation uses 'founded'; both point to 1961 in this source.
The book does not provide the first recipient, awarding organisation, eligibility rules, languages covered or prize components in this particular entry, so those details have not been supplied from outside knowledge.
For examination preparation, the main fact to memorise is the year and the family named in the source.
Quick revision: Jnanpith Award → 1961 → Sahu Jain family.
Therefore option (b) is correct.

सही उत्तर 1961 है। स्रोत के अनुसार Jnanpith Award भारत में दिया जाने वाला highest literary honour है। Explanation बताती है कि इसकी स्थापना Sahu Jain family द्वारा 1961 में की गई थी। इसलिए direct source-supported revision chain है: Jnanpith Award → Literary Honour in India → Source इसे Highest Literary Honour बताती है → Sahu Jain Family → 1961। 1972, 1957 और 1969 distractors हैं। Question में 'conceived in the year' wording है जबकि explanation 'founded' शब्द का प्रयोग करती है; source में दोनों 1961 की ओर संकेत करते हैं। Book इस particular entry में first recipient, awarding organisation, eligibility, languages या prize components की details नहीं देती, इसलिए उन्हें outside knowledge से add नहीं किया गया है। Quick revision: Jnanpith Award = 1961 = Sahu Jain Family according to source। इसलिए विकल्प (b) सही है।
