The musical instrument 'Tumbi' is traditionally associated with which Indian state?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. PunjabA. पंजाब
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Punjab.
According to the source, Tumbi is a traditional musical instrument associated with Punjab.
The book describes it as a single-stringed instrument and connects it with Punjabi folk music.
Therefore the principal examination association is: Tumbi — Punjab — single-stringed musical instrument — Punjabi folk tradition.
This is useful because competitive examinations often ask instruments either through their state or through their construction and musical category.
The 'single-stringed' clue can therefore help identify Tumbi even when Punjab is not explicitly mentioned in a future question.
Students should also notice that Tumbi appeared as a distractor in the immediately preceding Mahuri question.
That makes comparative revision useful: Mahuri — Odisha; Tumbi — Punjab.
However, only the facts explicitly supplied by each source explanation should be attached to the respective instrument.
Odisha, Assam and Gujarat are distractors in this question.
The source clearly identifies Punjab.
Indian folk-music questions often mix instruments from different regions, so maintaining a state-wise instrument list can reduce confusion.
The source does not provide detailed construction measurements, playing technique, historical inventor or a list of notable performers in this entry.
Those details have therefore not been added as source-derived facts.
For revision, focus on the compact chain: Tumbi — Punjab — Punjabi folk music — single-stringed instrument.
This can support direct MCQs, match-the-following questions and statement-based questions.
Therefore option (a), Punjab, is correct.
सही उत्तर पंजाब है। स्रोत के अनुसार Tumbi एक traditional musical instrument है जिसका संबंध Punjab से है। Book इसे single-stringed instrument बताती है और इसे Punjabi folk music से जोड़ती है। इसलिए मुख्य exam association है: Tumbi — Punjab — Single-stringed Musical Instrument — Punjabi Folk Tradition। Competitive examinations में instruments को state के अलावा उनकी construction या musical category के आधार पर भी पूछा जाता है। इसलिए 'single-stringed' clue बहुत useful है। Students ध्यान दें कि immediately preceding Mahuri question में Tumbi एक distractor के रूप में भी आया था। Comparative revision करें: Mahuri — Odisha; Tumbi — Punjab। लेकिन प्रत्येक instrument के साथ केवल उसी source explanation में दिए facts को जोड़ना चाहिए। Odisha, Assam और Gujarat इस question में distractors हैं। Source clearly Punjab को correct answer बताती है। Indian folk music questions में अलग-अलग regions के instruments को options में mix किया जाता है, इसलिए state-wise instrument list बनाना helpful है। Source इस entry में Tumbi की detailed measurements, exact playing technique, inventor या notable performers की list नहीं देती। इसलिए ऐसी details को source-derived information के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision chain: Tumbi — Punjab — Punjabi Folk Music — Single-stringed Instrument। यह direct MCQ, match-the-following और statement-based questions तीनों में useful रहेगा। इसलिए विकल्प (a), पंजाब, सही उत्तर है।
