Correct Answerसही उत्तर

B. Uttar PradeshB. उत्तर प्रदेश

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Uttar Pradesh.
According to the source, Kajri is a folk song sung by women from Uttar Pradesh and adjacent regions during the rainy season.
Thus, this PYQ contains three useful pieces of information: Kajri — Uttar Pradesh; Kajri — sung by women; Kajri — rainy season.
The question itself asks only the state, but the explanation makes the seasonal and performer-related associations equally important for examination preparation.
SSC can easily convert the same information into a statement-based or match-the-following question.
Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan are distractors in the original question.
Rajasthan is particularly noteworthy because the immediately preceding PYQ identifies Mand
Maand as a Rajasthan singing style.
Students should therefore keep regional forms separate: Maand — Rajasthan; Kajri — Uttar Pradesh.
The source also says 'Uttar Pradesh and adjacent regions', but the answer required by the given options and printed solution is Uttar Pradesh.
That wording should be preserved rather than artificially restricting the tradition beyond what the source says.
Similarly, the book specifically mentions women and the rainy season, so both details should remain part of the explanation.
The source does not identify a specific district, language, instrument or historical origin of Kajri in this entry, so those details have not been inserted.
For rapid revision, create the chain: Kajri — Uttar Pradesh and adjacent regions — folk song — women — rainy season.
This distinguishes it from many other folk-song traditions in the same chapter.
Therefore option (b), Uttar Pradesh, is correct.

सही उत्तर उत्तर प्रदेश है। स्रोत के अनुसार Kajri एक folk song है जिसे Uttar Pradesh और adjacent regions की women द्वारा rainy season में गाया जाता है। इसलिए इस PYQ से तीन important facts मिलते हैं: Kajri — Uttar Pradesh; Kajri — Women द्वारा गाया जाने वाला Folk Song; Kajri — Rainy Season। Question केवल state पूछता है, लेकिन explanation में seasonal और performer-related information भी competitive examinations के लिए बहुत useful है। SSC इसी information को statement-based या match-the-following question में बदल सकता है। Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh और Rajasthan original question में distractors हैं। Rajasthan विशेष रूप से confusing हो सकता है क्योंकि immediately previous question में Mand/Maand को Rajasthan की singing style बताया गया है। इसलिए clear distinction रखें: Maand — Rajasthan; Kajri — Uttar Pradesh। Source 'Uttar Pradesh and adjacent regions' phrase देती है, जबकि options और printed solution Uttar Pradesh को answer बनाते हैं। इसलिए source की broader wording को explanation में preserve किया गया है। इसी तरह book specifically women और rainy season का उल्लेख करती है, इसलिए दोनों facts important हैं। Source किसी specific district, language, instrument या historical origin की जानकारी इस entry में नहीं देती। इसलिए outside details नहीं जोड़ी गई हैं। Quick revision chain: Kajri — Uttar Pradesh and Adjacent Regions — Folk Song — Women — Rainy Season। इसलिए विकल्प (b), उत्तर प्रदेश, सही उत्तर है।
