The musical instrument 'Ravanahatha' is traditionally associated with which state?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. RajasthanA. राजस्थान
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Rajasthan.
According to the source, Ravanahatha is a traditional musical instrument associated with Rajasthan.
The question belongs to the same cluster of PYQs that tests regional Indian instruments, making state-wise comparison particularly useful.
The source-supported direct association is Ravanahatha — Rajasthan.
Students should revise it alongside other instrument-state pairs from this section: Dhenka — Odisha; Mahuri — Odisha; Ghumot — Goa; Tumbi — Punjab; Ravanahatha — Rajasthan.
This type of grouping is effective because SSC may interchange these names as distractors in future questions.
Indeed, Ravanahatha appeared as an alternative in the preceding instrument question, demonstrating how the book recycles valid cultural terms to test precise associations.
Punjab, Assam and Goa are distractors in the present question.
The source's printed answer identifies Rajasthan.
The source entry does not provide a sufficiently detailed description here of the instrument's construction, playing technique, number of strings, associated communities or historical origin.
Therefore those details should not be inserted as if they were supported by this specific source passage.
The safest exam preparation is to preserve the direct state-instrument relationship and compare it with the other pairs already established by the book.
Rajasthan also appears in the chapter in connection with Maand folk singing, but students should keep the musical form and instrument as separate facts: Maand — Rajasthan; Ravanahatha — Rajasthan.
Quick revision: Ravanahatha — Traditional Musical Instrument — Rajasthan.
Therefore option (a), Rajasthan, is correct.
सही उत्तर राजस्थान है। स्रोत के अनुसार Ravanahatha एक traditional musical instrument है जिसका संबंध Rajasthan से है। यह question उसी PYQ cluster का हिस्सा है जिसमें regional Indian instruments को states के साथ match किया गया है। इसलिए state-wise comparative revision बहुत useful है। Direct source-supported association है: Ravanahatha — Rajasthan। इसे इस section के अन्य pairs के साथ revise करें: Dhenka — Odisha; Mahuri — Odisha; Ghumot — Goa; Tumbi — Punjab; Ravanahatha — Rajasthan। ऐसी grouping useful है क्योंकि SSC future questions में इन्हीं valid cultural terms को distractors के रूप में interchange कर सकता है। Ravanahatha preceding instrument question में भी option के रूप में दिखाई दिया था, जिससे पता चलता है कि exact association याद रखना जरूरी है। Punjab, Assam और Goa इस question में distractors हैं। Source की printed answer Rajasthan को identify करती है। Source entry इस स्थान पर instrument की detailed construction, playing technique, strings की संख्या, associated community या historical origin की पर्याप्त information नहीं देती। इसलिए ऐसी details को specific source passage से derived बताकर नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Rajasthan chapter में Maand folk singing से भी जुड़ा है, लेकिन दोनों facts अलग रखें: Maand — Rajasthan; Ravanahatha — Rajasthan। Quick revision: Ravanahatha — Traditional Musical Instrument — Rajasthan। इसलिए विकल्प (a), राजस्थान, सही उत्तर है।
