1In Hindustani tabla, the higher-pitched right-hand drum is commonly called the:
A.Dayan (or tabla proper)
B.Bayan (or duggi) only
C.Tanpura only
D.Sarangi only
Explanation: The pair is Dayan (right-hand, wooden shell, higher pitch) and Bayan (left-hand bass drum, often metal/clay). CHSE vocational theory expects detailed knowledge of tabla and bayan parts.
2The Bayan (duggi) is primarily used to produce:
A.Bass and pressure-modulated left-hand tones
B.Only fixed high-pitched Teentaal bols with the right fingers
C.Wind (sushira) pitches only
D.Melody notes of a raga’s aroha alone
Explanation: Bayan supplies the bass and many left-hand bols; palm pressure on the syahi can bend pitch. Dayan carries most articulated right-hand syllables.
3A standard Dayan shell is typically made of:
A.Wood (hollowed cylindrical shell)
B.Only glass fibre with no wood tradition
C.A single brass plate without a cavity
D.Bamboo reed only
Explanation: Classical Dayan construction uses a turned wooden shell. Bayan shells are often metal (or clay in some traditions). Construction parts are Unit-III theory content.
4The black circular paste on the tabla playing surface is called the:
A.Syahi (or gab)
B.Bridge (ghodi) of a sitar
C.Bridge pin of a violin
D.Reed of a shehnai
Explanation: Syahi (gab) is the layered black paste that shapes tone and sustain on both Dayan and Bayan heads—core physical description of tabla parts.
5The rawhide head (pudi) of the tabla is tensioned and tuned mainly by:
A.Adjusting the leather straps (tasma/badi) and wooden blocks (gatta)
B.Pouring water into the shell before every piece
C.Loosening frets like a sitar
D.Changing the number of drone strings
Explanation: Tuning uses strap tension and cylindrical wooden blocks (gatta) under the straps; hammer taps on the gajra rim fine-tune pitch. Ideal practice includes maintaining correct tension.
6Compared with Pakhawaj, the modern tabla pair is characteristically:
A.A two-drum Hindustani set (Dayan + Bayan) evolved for lighter, more articulate accompaniment and solo baj
B.Always a single double-headed barrel identical to mridangam only
C.A free-reed keyboard instrument
D.Only an Odissi dance costume accessory
Explanation: Syllabus requires comparative study of Pakhawaj and Tabla. Tabla is a pair of single-headed drums with distinct gharana bajs; pakhawaj is the older barrel drum with different bol language and repertoire.
7Ideal tabla practice (riyaaz) emphasized in vocational theory includes:
A.Regular padhant (recitation), theka clarity, and gradual speed with correct hand posture
B.Only silent reading of essays with no hand work
C.Avoiding all theka practice until Year 2
D.Practising only Western snare rudiments exclusively
Explanation: Paper-I theory covers knowledge of ideal tabla practice: clear bols, posture, padhant, and progressive laya work alongside practical papers.
8Which statement about Dayan and Bayan roles is most accurate?
A.Dayan articulates many right-hand bols; Bayan supplies bass and left-hand strokes that complete composite phrases
B.Both drums always play only identical open Na strokes at the same pitch
C.Bayan never participates in composite bols
D.Dayan is only struck with a stick like a nagara
Explanation: Composite alphabets combine right and left hands (e.g., Dha, Dhin). Detailed knowledge of parts and of right/left/both-hand alphabets is Paper-I Unit-I/III content.
9In instrument classification, tabla belongs primarily to:
A.Avanaddha vadya (membrane/percussion)
B.Tata vadya only (chordophones)
C.Sushira vadya only (aerophones)
D.Ghana vadya only when struck metal idiophones alone
Explanation: Paper-IV theory studies classification of Indian instruments with special attention to ghana and percussion. Tabla is avanaddha (stretched membrane).
10The woven outer rim ring of the head, used when seating and fine-tuning, is often called the:
A.Gajra
B.Mizrab
C.Javari
D.Toomba
Explanation: Gajra is the braided leather rim of the pudi. Physical-part vocabulary is expected in “different parts of Tabla and Bayan.”
