1Which of the following is NOT one of the three doshas in classical Ayurveda?

A.Vata

B.Pitta

C.Kapha

D.Rakta

Explanation: Tridosha comprises Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Rakta is among the Sapta Dhatu; although some later discussions compare rakta to dosha-like behaviour, it is not counted as a classical dosha in the tridosha triad.

2Among the Panchamahabhuta, which element is associated with shabda (sound) as its tanmatra?

A.Tejas (Agni)

B.Vayu

C.Akasha

D.Jala

Explanation: Akasha (space/ether) corresponds to shabda tanmatra. The classical tanmatra map is: Akasha–shabda, Vayu–sparsha, Tejas–rupa, Jala–rasa, Prithvi–gandha.

3Charaka Samhita, as received in the classical redaction tradition, is primarily associated with which redactor after Agnivesha?

A.Vagbhata

B.Sushruta

C.Charaka

D.Bhavamishra

Explanation: The Agnivesha Tantra was redacted by Charaka (Charaka Samhita). Sushruta authored the surgical Samhita; Vagbhata compiled Ashtanga Hridaya/Sangraha; Bhavamishra authored Bhavaprakasha much later.

4According to classical dhatu-parinama, the correct sequential order of Sapta Dhatu is:

A.Rakta → Rasa → Mamsa → Meda → Asthi → Majja → Shukra

B.Rasa → Mamsa → Rakta → Meda → Asthi → Majja → Shukra

C.Rasa → Rakta → Mamsa → Meda → Asthi → Majja → Shukra

D.Rasa → Rakta → Meda → Mamsa → Asthi → Majja → Shukra

Explanation: Classical sequence is Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja, and Shukra (or Artava in females as reproductive tissue analogue). Each successive dhatu is nourished from the preceding one’s prasada bhaga under the influence of dhatvagni.

5The oft-quoted aim “Swasthasya swasthya rakshanam, aturasya vikara prashamanam” primarily defines Ayurveda’s:

A.Exclusive focus on surgical procedures

B.Solely spiritual liberation (moksha)

C.Two-fold goal: preserve health and treat disease

D.Only detoxification without prevention

Explanation: Charaka’s definition frames Ayurveda as both preventive (protecting the healthy) and curative (alleviating disease). This two-fold aim anchors Swasthavritta and Kayachikitsa alike.

6Ayurveda is traditionally described as an Upanga (subsidiary limb) of which Veda?

A.Rigveda

B.Atharvaveda

C.Samaveda

D.Yajurveda

Explanation: Classical tradition places Ayurveda as an Upanga of Atharvaveda, reflecting Atharvanic medical and protective lore. The other three Vedas are not the standard Upanga attribution for Ayurveda.

7Ashtanga Ayurveda comprises how many principal clinical branches?

A.Seven

B.Eight

C.Ten

D.Six

Explanation: Ashtanga Ayurveda has eight branches: Kayachikitsa, Shalya, Shalakya, Kaumarabhritya, Agada Tantra, Bhuta Vidya (Graha), Rasayana, and Vajikarana (as classically enumerated with minor naming variants).

8Jatharagni is primarily responsible for:

A.Only bone metabolism

B.Only sensory perception

C.Only formation of bhasma in Rasashastra

D.Digestion of ingested food in the amashaya/grahani region

Explanation: Jatharagni is the principal digestive fire transforming ahara into ahara-rasa. Dhatvagni and bhutagni act later on tissue and elemental levels; they do not replace jatharagni’s primary digestive role.

9According to Sushruta, the moola (roots) of Artavavaha srotas are:

A.Vrikka and Basti only

B.Yakrit and Pleeha only

C.Garbhashaya and Artavavaha dhamani

D.Hridaya and Rasavahi dhamani only

Explanation: Sushruta states Artavavaha srotas have two roots: Garbhashaya (uterus) and Artavavaha dhamani. Injury leads to amenorrhoea, infertility, and related artava disorders.

10A person with predominant Vata prakriti most typically shows which body–mind pattern?

A.Heavy build, slow digestion, and marked lethargy only

B.Strong hunger, sharp temper, and reddish complexion only

C.Light build, variable appetite, quick speech, and anxiety tendency

D.Complete absence of any dosha traits

Explanation: Vata prakriti features laghu (light) body, irregular appetite/digestion, rapid variable activity, and a restless or anxious mental pattern. Kapha and Pitta patterns differ in build, appetite stability, and temperament.
