Fairs practice question for SSC. Review the correct answer and explanation, then continue with related practice below.
Minjar Mela is a popular fair of which of the following states?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. Himachal PradeshC. हिमाचल प्रदेश
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Himachal Pradesh.
According to the source, the Minjar Fair has been declared one of the state fairs of Himachal Pradesh and is therefore widely covered by the media.
The source further states that it is held on the second Sunday of the Hindu month of Shravana.
This gives students two important facts from one question: Minjar Mela — Himachal Pradesh, and timing — second Sunday of Shravana.
Fair-related questions in SSC often ask either the state or the month
season in which a fair is held.
Therefore learning both the geographical and calendar association is useful.
The other options—Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab—are all northern Indian regions with strong fair and festival traditions, making them plausible distractors.
The question becomes easier if students prepare northern Indian cultural events state-wise.
Since the source explicitly calls Minjar one of the state fairs of Himachal Pradesh, that is the central exam fact.
A future question may ask which fair of Himachal Pradesh is held on the second Sunday of Shravana, in which case Minjar Mela would be the answer.
Conversely, if Minjar is given and the state is asked, Himachal Pradesh should immediately come to mind.
For revision, remember: Minjar Mela — Himachal Pradesh — state fair — held on the second Sunday of the Hindu month of Shravana.
The source does not provide a district, origin story or ritual details in this explanation, so those have not been inserted as source-derived facts.
Therefore option (c), Himachal Pradesh, is correct.
सही उत्तर हिमाचल प्रदेश है। स्रोत के अनुसार Minjar Fair को Himachal Pradesh के state fairs में से एक घोषित किया गया है और इसी कारण यह media में व्यापक रूप से covered रहता है। पुस्तक आगे बताती है कि यह मेला Hindu month of Shravana के second Sunday को आयोजित होता है। इसलिए एक ही प्रश्न से दो महत्वपूर्ण facts मिलते हैं: Minjar Mela — Himachal Pradesh और इसका timing — Shravana का दूसरा Sunday। SSC में fairs से जुड़े प्रश्न राज्य के साथ-साथ आयोजन के महीने या season पर भी पूछे जा सकते हैं। इसलिए geographical और calendar association दोनों साथ याद करना उपयोगी है। Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir और Punjab सभी उत्तर भारत के ऐसे क्षेत्र हैं जहां प्रसिद्ध fairs और festivals होते हैं, इसलिए वे अच्छे distractors हैं। State-wise cultural events की list बनाकर पढ़ने से ऐसे प्रश्न आसानी से हल होंगे। Source स्पष्ट रूप से Minjar को Himachal Pradesh का state fair बताता है, इसलिए यही मुख्य exam fact है। भविष्य में प्रश्न उल्टा आ सकता है—'Shravana के दूसरे Sunday को Himachal Pradesh में कौन-सा fair आयोजित होता है?' तब answer Minjar Mela होगा। Quick revision chain: Minjar Mela — Himachal Pradesh — State Fair — Second Sunday of Shravana। स्रोत district, origin story या अन्य ritual details नहीं देता, इसलिए उन्हें source-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। इसलिए विकल्प (c), हिमाचल प्रदेश, सही उत्तर है।
