Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5D. 1, 2, 3, 4 और 5
Explanationव्याख्या
All five statements are correct according to the source.
Veteran music composer Ilaiyaraaja was awarded the Padmapani Award at the 11th Ajanta-Ellora International Film Festival.
The award package contains a Padmapani memento, a citation certificate and a cash prize of ₹2 lakh.
The festival was scheduled to run from January 28 to February 1 at Mahatma Gandhi Mission in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
The source explains that the award recognises excellence and lifetime contribution to Indian cinema and is intended to inspire upcoming artists and filmmakers.
The institutional framework surrounding the festival is also important.
It was organised with support from the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India, and the Department of Cultural Affairs, Maharashtra.
It was co-presented by the National Film Development Corporation and the Maharashtra Film, Stage & Cultural Development Corporation.
Students should distinguish between the award name, festival name and supporting organisations.
Padmapani is the award; Ajanta-Ellora International Film Festival is the event; Mahatma Gandhi Mission in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is the venue.
The cash component is ₹2 lakh according to the source.
Objective questions can alter this amount or change the venue to create an incorrect statement.
Another potential trap is the edition number: this was the 11th Ajanta-Ellora International Film Festival.
Quick revision: Ilaiyaraaja → Padmapani Award → 11th AEIFF → memento + citation + ₹2 lakh → Jan 28-Feb 1 → Mahatma Gandhi Mission → Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar → lifetime contribution to Indian cinema → Ministry of I&B + Maharashtra Cultural Affairs → NFDC and Maharashtra Film, Stage & Cultural Development Corporation.
Since statements 1 through 5 accurately reproduce the source, all are correct.
Therefore option D is the answer.
सभी पाँच statements source के अनुसार सही हैं। Veteran music composer Ilaiyaraaja को 11th Ajanta-Ellora International Film Festival में Padmapani Award दिया गया। Award package में Padmapani memento, citation certificate और ₹2 lakh cash prize शामिल हैं। Festival January 28 से February 1 तक Mahatma Gandhi Mission, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar में scheduled था। Source बताता है कि award Indian cinema में excellence और lifetime contribution को recognise करता है और upcoming artists तथा filmmakers को inspire करने का उद्देश्य रखता है। Festival का institutional framework भी important है। इसे Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India और Department of Cultural Affairs, Maharashtra के support से organise किया गया। National Film Development Corporation और Maharashtra Film, Stage & Cultural Development Corporation ने इसे co-present किया। Award name, festival name और supporting organisations को अलग-अलग याद रखें। Padmapani → award; Ajanta-Ellora International Film Festival → event; Mahatma Gandhi Mission, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar → venue। Cash prize source के अनुसार ₹2 lakh है। Objective questions amount, venue या edition number बदलकर trap बना सकते हैं। यह 11th Ajanta-Ellora International Film Festival था। Revision chain: Ilaiyaraaja → Padmapani Award → 11th AEIFF → memento + citation + ₹2 lakh → Jan 28-Feb 1 → Mahatma Gandhi Mission → Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar → lifetime contribution to Indian cinema → Ministry of I&B + Maharashtra Cultural Affairs → NFDC co-presenter। इसलिए statements 1 से 5 सभी correct हैं और option D सही answer है।
