1What is the correct Sandhi (phonetic combination) breakdown of the Assamese word 'Vidyalaya' (বিদ্যালয়)?
A.Vidya + Alaya (বিদ্যা + আলয়)
B.Vid + Alaya (বিদ + আলয়)
C.Vidya + Laya (বিদ্যা + লয়)
D.Vidyala + Aya (বিদ্যাল + অয়)
Explanation: 'Vidyalaya' is formed by Swar Sandhi combining 'Vidya' (knowledge) + 'Alaya' (abode/house), where 'a' + 'a' results in long 'a' (আ).
2Which rule of Sandhi is applied in the combination 'Deva + Rishi' = 'Devarshi' (দেৱৰ্ষি)?
A.Swar Sandhi resulting in 'Ar' (অৰ্)
B.Vyanjan Sandhi resulting in 'O' (ও)
C.Visarga Sandhi resulting in 'R' (ৰ)
D.Anunasik Sandhi resulting in nasalization
Explanation: In Swar Sandhi, when 'a' or 'aa' (অ/আ) is followed by 'Ri' (ঋ), both vowels combine to produce 'Ar' (অৰ্), transforming 'Deva + Rishi' into 'Devarshi'.
3Identify the Vyanjan Sandhi combination for 'Ut + Lasa' (উৎ + লাস).
A.Ullasa (উল্লাস)
B.Utlasa (উৎলাস)
C.Udlasa (উদ্লাস)
D.Unlasa (উন্লাস)
Explanation: According to Vyanjan Sandhi rules, when 'T' (ত্) is followed by 'L' (ল্), the 'T' assimilates into 'L', forming the double consonant 'Ll' (ল্ল), giving 'Ullasa'.
4What is the correct Sandhi form of 'Nih + Roga' (নিঃ + ৰোগ)?
A.Niroga (নীৰোগ)
B.Nihroga (নিঃৰোগ)
C.Nirroga (নিৰ্ৰোগ)
D.Niroga with short i (নিৰোগ)
Explanation: In Visarga Sandhi, when Visarga follows a short vowel 'i' and is followed by 'R', the visarga drops and the preceding short vowel becomes long, yielding 'Niroga' (নীৰোগ).
5Which of the following is an example of Vyanjan Sandhi?
A.Satsang ( সৎ + সঙ্গ = সৎসঙ্গ / সচ্ছঙ্গ )
B.Gajendra ( গজ + ইন্দ্ৰ )
C.Mahotsav ( মহা + উৎসৱ )
D.Yathaishta ( যথা + ইষ্ট )
Explanation: 'Satsang' involves the consonant combination of 't' (ত্) and 's' (স), which is Vyanjan Sandhi. The other options are Swar Sandhi.
6What is the Sandhi split of 'Sujan' (সজ্জন)?
A.Sat + Jana ( সৎ + জন )
B.Sa + Jana ( স + জন )
C.Sam + Jana ( সম্ + জন )
D.Su + Jana ( সু + জন )
Explanation: 'Sajjana' / 'Sujan' (সজ্জন) comes from Vyanjan Sandhi 'Sat' (সৎ - noble) + 'Jana' (জন - person), where 'T' assimilates into 'J'.
7To which class of Samasa (compound word) does 'Matri-Pitri' (মাতৃ-পিতৃ / মা-দেউতা) belong?
A.Dvandva Samasa (দ্বন্দ্ব সমাস)
B.Tatpurusha Samasa (তৎপুৰুষ সমাস)
C.Bahuvrihi Samasa (বহুব্ৰীহি সমাস)
D.Dvigu Samasa (দ্বিগু সমাস)
Explanation: In 'Dvandva Samasa', both constituent words hold equal semantic importance and are connected by a conjunction like 'aru' (and). 'Matri-Pitri' means Mother and Father.
8Which Samasa is defined as having a numeral (সংখ্যাবাচক শব্দ) as its first member?
A.Dvigu Samasa (দ্বিগু সমাস)
B.Karmadharaya Samasa (কৰ্মধাৰয় সমাস)
C.Avyayibhava Samasa (অব্যয়ীভাৱ সমাস)
D.Dvandva Samasa (দ্বন্দ্ব সমাস)
Explanation: Dvigu Samasa is a type of compound word where the first term is a numerical adjective denoting a collection or group (e.g., Triphala - collection of three fruits).
9What type of Samasa is 'Nilakantha' (নীলকণ্ঠ - one whose throat is blue, referring to Lord Shiva)?
A.Bahuvrihi Samasa (বহুব্ৰীহি সমাস)
B.Karmadharaya Samasa (কৰ্মধাৰয় সমাস)
C.Tatpurusha Samasa (তৎপুৰুষ সমাস)
D.Avyayibhava Samasa (অব্যয়ীভাৱ সমাস)
Explanation: In Bahuvrihi Samasa, neither constituent word retains primary meaning; instead, the compound refers to a third external entity (Nilakantha = Lord Shiva).
10Identify the Samasa of 'Rajaputra' (ৰাজপুত্ৰ - king's son).
A.Shasthi Tatpurusha Samasa (ষষ্ঠী তৎপুৰুষ সমাস)
B.Dwitiya Tatpurusha Samasa (দ্বিতীয় তৎপুৰুষ সমাস)
C.Karmadharaya Samasa (কৰ্মধাৰয় সমাস)
D.Bahuvrihi Samasa (বহুব্ৰীহি সমাস)
Explanation: 'Rajaputra' expands to 'Rajar Putra' (ৰাজাব পুত্র), where the genitive/possessive case ending '-r' (ষষ্ঠী ৰ/ৰ) is elided in the compound.
