Ghumot is an indigenous traditional percussion instrument of ______.
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. GoaB. गोवा
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Goa.
According to the source, Ghumot is Goa's indigenous traditional percussion instrument.
The book specifically states that it is made from an earthen vessel and has been notified as a heritage instrument of Goa.
These three facts form a strong examination-oriented association: Ghumot — Goa — indigenous traditional percussion instrument — made from an earthen vessel — heritage instrument of Goa.
This question is particularly useful because it tests not merely the state but also the category of the instrument.
The word 'percussion' is explicitly provided by the source and should therefore be retained.
Similarly, its construction from an earthen vessel is a useful identifying feature.
Students preparing for SSC and Railway examinations should create state-wise lists of musical instruments because neighbouring questions in the book repeatedly test this format.
For example, Dhenka is associated with Odisha, while Ghumot is associated with Goa.
Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Assam are distractors in this question.
The source explicitly identifies Goa, so students should not confuse Ghumot with other regional instruments simply because several Indian states have traditional percussion traditions.
The designation as a 'heritage instrument of Goa' is another important source-supported phrase and can itself form the basis of a statement-based question.
The source does not provide its detailed playing technique, dimensions or ceremonial uses in this entry, so those details have not been added.
Quick revision: Ghumot — Goa — indigenous percussion instrument — earthen vessel — heritage instrument of Goa.
Therefore option (b), Goa, is correct.
सही उत्तर गोवा है। स्रोत के अनुसार Ghumot Goa का indigenous traditional percussion instrument है। पुस्तक स्पष्ट रूप से बताती है कि यह एक earthen vessel अर्थात मिट्टी के पात्र से बनाया जाता है और इसे Goa का heritage instrument notified किया गया है। इसलिए इस question से एक strong exam-oriented chain बनती है: Ghumot — Goa — Indigenous Traditional Percussion Instrument — Earthen Vessel — Heritage Instrument of Goa। यह question केवल state नहीं पूछता बल्कि instrument की category भी बताता है। 'Percussion' शब्द source में explicitly दिया गया है, इसलिए इसे विशेष रूप से याद रखना चाहिए। इसी तरह earthen vessel से बना होना इसका useful identifying feature है। SSC और Railway examinations की तैयारी में state-wise musical instruments की list बनाना उपयोगी है क्योंकि book में लगातार ऐसे questions दिए गए हैं। उदाहरण: Dhenka — Odisha; Ghumot — Goa। Andhra Pradesh, Punjab और Assam इस PYQ में distractors हैं। कई राज्यों की अपनी traditional percussion traditions होने के कारण confusion हो सकता है, लेकिन source clearly Goa को identify करती है। 'Heritage instrument of Goa' phrase भी महत्वपूर्ण है और statement-based question में पूछा जा सकता है। Source इस entry में Ghumot की detailed playing technique, dimensions या ceremonial uses नहीं देती, इसलिए उन्हें source-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Ghumot — Goa — Percussion Instrument — Earthen Vessel — Heritage Instrument। इसलिए विकल्प (b), गोवा, सही उत्तर है।
