Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. CuttackB. कटक
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Cuttack.
According to the source, Bali Jatra is held in Cuttack, a city in Odisha situated on the banks of the Mahanadi River.
The book describes it as Asia's largest open trade fair and states that it is celebrated every year beginning from Kartika Purnima according to the Odia calendar.
The question itself explains that the expression Baliyatra literally means 'voyage to Bali'.
These details provide an excellent cluster of Static GK facts.
Students should remember: Bali Jatra
Baliyatra — Cuttack — Odisha — Mahanadi River — Kartika Purnima — described by the source as Asia's largest open trade fair.
The festival can therefore be tested through city, state, river, calendar occasion or its literal meaning.
Cuttack is the answer to the immediate question, but remembering Odisha is equally important because another examination may ask the state rather than the city.
The Mahanadi association also creates a useful geography connection.
Kartika Purnima is another high-frequency cultural-calendar fact in SSC and appears elsewhere in the book.
Kochi, Gurgaon and Vellore are important Indian cities but are not associated with Baliyatra according to the source.
The source's statement that it is Asia's largest open trade fair should be treated as a source-derived claim and preserved in this PYQ context rather than independently expanded.
The safest revision chain is: Baliyatra — 'Voyage to Bali' — Cuttack, Odisha — banks of Mahanadi — begins on Kartika Purnima — major open trade fair.
Therefore option (b), Cuttack, is correct.
सही उत्तर कटक है। स्रोत के अनुसार Bali Jatra या Baliyatra Odisha के Cuttack शहर में आयोजित होती है, जो Mahanadi River के किनारे स्थित है। पुस्तक इसे Asia's largest open trade fair बताती है और कहती है कि इसका आयोजन प्रत्येक वर्ष Odia calendar के अनुसार Kartika Purnima से शुरू होता है। Question स्वयं यह भी बताता है कि Baliyatra का literal meaning 'voyage to Bali' अर्थात 'बाली की यात्रा' है। इसलिए इस एक question से कई महत्वपूर्ण Static GK facts मिलते हैं। Complete revision chain है: Bali Jatra/Baliyatra — Cuttack — Odisha — Mahanadi River — Kartika Purnima — source के अनुसार Asia's Largest Open Trade Fair। Immediate question city पूछता है, इसलिए Cuttack answer है, लेकिन Odisha भी साथ याद रखना जरूरी है क्योंकि future exam में state पूछा जा सकता है। Mahanadi River association Geography revision में भी उपयोगी है। Kartika Purnima Indian cultural calendar का एक high-frequency fact है और book के दूसरे questions में भी दिखाई देता है। Kochi, Gurgaon और Vellore महत्वपूर्ण Indian cities हैं, लेकिन source उन्हें Baliyatra से नहीं जोड़ता। Source द्वारा इसे Asia's largest open trade fair कहा गया है; इस statement को इसी source/PYQ context में preserve किया जाना चाहिए। Quick revision: Baliyatra — 'Voyage to Bali' — Cuttack, Odisha — Mahanadi के किनारे — Kartika Purnima से शुरू — Major Open Trade Fair। इसलिए विकल्प (b), कटक, सही उत्तर है।
