1In Sanskrit grammar, sandhi primarily refers to:
A.Euphonic combination/changes when sounds meet at word or morpheme boundaries
B.Only the meter of a śloka
C.Only a type of compound word
D.Only the moral of a subhāṣita
Explanation: Sandhi (saṃdhi) describes how final and initial sounds combine — svara (vowel), vyañjana (consonant), and visarga sandhi — at junctions. Meter, compounds (samāsa), and morals are separate topics.
2By guṇa sandhi, a/ā + i/ī typically yields:
A.e
B.o
C.ai
D.au
Explanation: Guṇa sandhi: a/ā + i/ī → e (e.g., rāma + iti → rāmeti). a/ā + u/ū → o; vṛddhi with e/ai → ai and with o/au → au.
3By guṇa sandhi, a/ā + u/ū typically yields:
A.e
B.ai
C.o
D.au
Explanation: Guṇa: a/ā + u/ū → o (e.g., school patterns like gaṅgā + udaka → gaṅgodaka). e is for i/ī; ai/au are vṛddhi results.
4Dīrgha sandhi of a/ā + a/ā yields:
A.a (short only)
B.ā (long ā)
C.e
D.o
Explanation: Savarna dīrgha: similar short/long a-vowels combine to long ā (e.g., daśa + aṣṭa-type → daśāṣṭa). e and o are guṇa products, not dīrgha of a+a.
5Vṛddhi sandhi: a/ā + e/ai yields:
A.e
B.ai
C.o
D.au
Explanation: Vṛddhi sandhi: a/ā + e/ai → ai; a/ā + o/au → au. School drills contrast this with guṇa (a+i→e, a+u→o).
6Vṛddhi sandhi: a/ā + o/au yields:
A.o
B.e
C.ai
D.au
Explanation: a/ā + o/au → au under vṛddhi sandhi (e.g., school pairs like mahā + oṣadhi-type patterns → mahauṣadhi).
7Yaṇ sandhi: final i/ī before a dissimilar vowel typically becomes:
A.y (ya-sound)
B.v (va-sound)
C.r only
D.l only
Explanation: Yaṇ: i/ī → y; u/ū → v; ṛ → r before a different vowel (e.g., iti + āha → ityāha). v is for u/ū, not i/ī.
8Yaṇ sandhi: final u/ū before a dissimilar vowel typically becomes:
A.y
B.v
C.ś
D.ḥ only
Explanation: u/ū → v before a different vowel (e.g., madhu + ari → madhvari). y is for i/ī; visarga and ś belong to other sandhi types.
9In many school examples, final -as (visarga-related) before a soft/voiced consonant often appears as:
A.o (e.g., rāmo gacchati pattern)
B.ai always
C.au always
D.e always
Explanation: A common Class 12 visarga pattern: -as before soft consonants/a becomes -o (rāmaḥ + gacchati → rāmo gacchati). ai/au/e are not the default outcomes here.
10Which pair correctly matches a sandhi type to its domain?
A.Svara sandhi — vowel junctions; vyañjana sandhi — consonant junctions; visarga sandhi — ḥ junctions
B.Svara sandhi — only compounds; vyañjana — only meters
C.Visarga sandhi — only dual number endings
D.All sandhi types apply only inside finite verbs
Explanation: School grammar divides sandhi into svara (vowels), vyañjana (consonants), and visarga (ḥ). It is not limited to compounds, duals, or verbs alone.
