Which of the following pairs of musical instrument and state is correctly matched?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Ghumot — GoaA. घुमोट — गोवा
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Ghumot — Goa.
According to the source-based facts established in this section, Ghumot is Goa's indigenous traditional percussion instrument.
It is made from an earthen vessel and is described by the book as a heritage instrument of Goa.
The remaining pairs are mismatched when compared with the source: Tumbi is associated with Punjab, not Odisha; Mahuri is a traditional wind instrument of Odisha, not Punjab; and Dhenka is also associated with Odisha, not Rajasthan.
Therefore this question functions as an excellent consolidated test of the instrument-state relationships covered in the chapter.
The complete source-supported comparison is: Ghumot — Goa; Tumbi — Punjab; Mahuri — Odisha; Dhenka — Odisha.
Students should practise both direct and reversed associations because SSC may ask either 'Which instrument belongs to Goa?' or 'Ghumot belongs to which state?' The additional description of Ghumot is also useful: indigenous traditional percussion instrument — earthen vessel — heritage instrument of Goa.
Similarly, Mahuri is described by the source as a wind instrument and 'mangala badya'.
Dhenka has its own literary association in the source, while Tumbi is described as single-stringed and linked with Punjabi folk music.
Keeping these distinguishing clues together reduces confusion when all four appear in the same MCQ.
Since the question asks for the correctly matched pair, only Ghumot — Goa satisfies the source.
Therefore option (a), Ghumot — Goa, is correct.
सही उत्तर Ghumot — Goa है। इस section में स्थापित source-based facts के अनुसार Ghumot Goa का indigenous traditional percussion instrument है। Book बताती है कि यह earthen vessel से बनाया जाता है और इसे Goa का heritage instrument कहा गया है। बाकी pairs source से compare करने पर गलत हैं: Tumbi का संबंध Punjab से है, Odisha से नहीं; Mahuri Odisha का traditional wind instrument है, Punjab का नहीं; और Dhenka भी Odisha से associated है, Rajasthan से नहीं। इसलिए यह question chapter में पढ़े instrument-state relationships का excellent consolidated revision है। Complete source-supported comparison: Ghumot — Goa; Tumbi — Punjab; Mahuri — Odisha; Dhenka — Odisha। Students direct और reverse दोनों associations practise करें क्योंकि SSC 'Goa का instrument कौन-सा है?' या 'Ghumot किस state से संबंधित है?' दोनों forms में पूछ सकता है। Ghumot के additional clues भी याद रखें: Indigenous Traditional Percussion Instrument — Earthen Vessel — Heritage Instrument of Goa। इसी तरह Mahuri को source Wind Instrument और Mangala Badya बताती है। Dhenka के साथ source literary association देती है, जबकि Tumbi को single-stringed और Punjabi folk music से related बताया गया है। ये distinguishing clues एक ही MCQ में सभी names आने पर confusion कम करते हैं। Question correctly matched pair पूछता है और source के अनुसार केवल Ghumot — Goa सही है। इसलिए विकल्प (a), Ghumot — Goa, सही उत्तर है।
