In which of the following periods Ostriches were found in India?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Palaeolithic PeriodA. पुरापाषाण काल
Explanationव्याख्या
According to the supplied source, the correct answer is the Palaeolithic Period.
The book explicitly states that ostriches were found in India during the Palaeolithic period.
It further says that large quantities of ostrich eggshells were discovered at Patne in Maharashtra.
According to the source, designs were engraved on some pieces of these shells, while beads were also made from them.
Therefore the important source-based revision chain is: Ostriches in India → Palaeolithic Period → ostrich eggshell evidence at Patne, Maharashtra → some shell pieces engraved with designs → beads also made from the shells.
The remaining options are Neolithic, Mesolithic and Megalithic periods.
The question is a prehistoric-period identification item, and the archaeological clue provided by the book is the occurrence of ostrich eggshell material.
No additional dating of the Patne finds or archaeological interpretation has been inserted from outside sources.
For this question, the printed solution is option (a), Palaeolithic Period, corresponding to zero-based answer index 0.
दिए गए स्रोत के अनुसार सही उत्तर पुरापाषाण काल है। पुस्तक स्पष्ट रूप से बताती है कि भारत में Palaeolithic Period के दौरान ostriches अर्थात शुतुरमुर्ग पाए जाते थे। स्रोत आगे कहता है कि महाराष्ट्र के Patne में बड़ी मात्रा में ostrich eggshells मिले हैं। पुस्तक के अनुसार इन अंडों के खोल के कुछ टुकड़ों पर designs उकेरे गए थे और इनसे beads भी बनाए जाते थे। इसलिए मुख्य स्रोत-आधारित पुनरावृत्ति क्रम है: भारत में शुतुरमुर्ग → Palaeolithic Period → Patne, Maharashtra में ostrich eggshell evidence → कुछ टुकड़ों पर designs → shells से beads। अन्य विकल्प Neolithic, Mesolithic और Megalithic periods हैं। यह प्रश्न prehistoric period की पहचान पर आधारित है और पुस्तक द्वारा दिया गया मुख्य archaeological clue ostrich eggshell material है। Patne के finds की अतिरिक्त dating या archaeological interpretation बाहर से नहीं जोड़ी गई है। इसलिए मुद्रित समाधान विकल्प (a), अर्थात zero-based answer index 0, सही है।
