Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Nepal.
According to the source, 'Janko', also written as 'Janku' in the explanation, is a unique cultural custom followed in Nepal as a celebration of life.
The book describes it as a kind of traditional grand birthday celebration held when a person reaches a certain age.
Therefore the central source-supported association is: Janko
Janku — Nepal — Celebration of Life — Traditional Grand Birthday Celebration — performed when a person reaches a certain age.
The wording 'celebration of life' is especially important because it may be used as a clue in future questions.
Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Pakistan are distractors in the original MCQ.
The source does not associate this custom with them.
Students should also recognise the minor spelling variation within the source itself: the question uses 'Janko', while the explanation uses 'Janku'.
Both forms have been preserved conceptually because they refer to the same custom in the source context.
The book does not specify the exact age or ages at which this celebration occurs, nor does it describe the rituals, participants, religious background or duration.
Therefore those details have not been supplied from outside knowledge.
This is important because source-based preparation should distinguish what the book actually says from broader cultural information.
For competitive examinations, the safest revision chain is Nepal — Janko
Janku — unique cultural custom — celebration of life — traditional grand birthday celebration at a certain age.
The question can easily be reversed by asking which country follows the Janko custom or which custom is known as a celebration of life in Nepal.
Therefore option (b), Nepal, is correct.

सही उत्तर नेपाल है। स्रोत के अनुसार 'Janko', जिसे explanation में 'Janku' भी लिखा गया है, Nepal में follow की जाने वाली एक unique cultural custom है जिसे celebration of life के रूप में मनाया जाता है। Book इसे एक प्रकार की traditional grand birthday celebration बताती है, जो तब आयोजित होती है जब कोई व्यक्ति एक certain age तक पहुंचता है। इसलिए मुख्य source-supported chain है: Janko/Janku — Nepal — Celebration of Life — Traditional Grand Birthday Celebration — Certain Age पर Celebration। 'Celebration of life' phrase विशेष रूप से important है क्योंकि future exam में यही clue दिया जा सकता है। Sri Lanka, Bhutan और Pakistan original MCQ में distractors हैं। Source इस custom को उनसे associate नहीं करती। Book में spelling variation भी है: question में 'Janko' जबकि explanation में 'Janku' लिखा है। Source context में दोनों एक ही custom को refer करते हैं, इसलिए इस variation को silently हटाने के बजाय explanation में स्पष्ट किया गया है। Book exact age या ages नहीं बताती, न rituals, participants, religious background या duration की details देती है। इसलिए outside knowledge से इन gaps को fill नहीं किया गया है। Source-based preparation में यह distinction महत्वपूर्ण है। Quick revision chain: Nepal — Janko/Janku — Unique Cultural Custom — Celebration of Life — Traditional Grand Birthday at Certain Age। Future question reverse form में भी आ सकता है। इसलिए विकल्प (b), नेपाल, सही उत्तर है।
