1In Hindi व्याकरण, what is समास (samas)?
A.Combining two or more words into one compound word with a fixed semantic relation
B.The joining of two sounds at a word boundary by fixed phonological rules
C.A figure of speech that compares two unlike things
D.A metrical couplet with 13+11 matras
Explanation: समास is compounding: two or more words join into one compound (समस्त पद) with a definite internal relation (e.g., राजपुत्र, यथाशक्ति). Sandhi is sound-joining; upama is alankar; doha is chhand.
2Which समास type is illustrated by यथाशक्ति ('according to ability')?
A.अव्ययीभाव समास (avyayibhava)
B.तत्पुरुष समास (tatpurusha)
C.बहुव्रीहि समास (bahuvrihi)
D.द्वन्द्व समास (dvandva)
Explanation: In अव्ययीभाव the first member is typically an indeclinable (अव्यय) and the compound functions adverbially. यथा + शक्ति → यथाशक्ति is classic avyayibhava.
3The compound राजपुत्र ('king's son') is primarily classified as which समास?
A.तत्पुरुष समास (tatpurusha)
B.अव्ययीभाव समास (avyayibhava)
C.बहुव्रीहि समास (bahuvrihi)
D.द्वन्द्व समास (dvandva)
Explanation: राजपुत्र = पुत्र of the राजा — second member primary with genitive/case relation: classic तत्पुरुष (often षष्ठी तत्पुरुष).
4Which example best illustrates बहुव्रीहि समास (bahuvrihi)?
A.पीताम्बर — 'one who wears yellow garments' (Krishna epithet)
B.माता-पिता — 'mother and father'
C.गृहकार्य — 'homework / house-work'
D.प्रतिदिन — 'every day'
Explanation: In बहुव्रीहि the compound names a third referent that possesses those qualities. पीताम्बर denotes Krishna who wears yellow clothes.
5What is the defining feature of द्वन्द्व समास (dvandva)?
A.Both members are coordinated equals (X and Y), often expandable with 'और'
B.The first member is always an indeclinable adverb
C.Only the second member carries meaning; the first is discarded
D.The compound always means the opposite of its members
Explanation: द्वन्द्व joins coordinated equals (राम-लक्ष्मण, माता-पिता, अन्न-जल). Vigraha typically uses 'और'.
6In समास analysis, what does विग्रह mean?
A.Expanding a compound into its full analytical phrase showing the relation of members
B.Changing active voice to passive voice
C.Counting matras in a chhand line
D.Listing synonyms of a word
Explanation: विग्रह expands a समस्त पद into its component relation (e.g., राजपुत्र → राजा का पुत्र) to classify समास type.
7Which compound is best classified as अव्ययीभाव समास?
A.आजन्म — 'throughout life / from birth'
B.विद्यालय — 'school / abode of learning'
C.नीलकण्ठ — 'blue-throated one' (Shiva)
D.दम्पती — 'husband and wife'
Explanation: आजन्म uses avyaya-like आ- with जन्म in adverbial sense — standard अव्ययीभाव. विद्यालय is often तत्पुरुष; नीलकण्ठ बहुव्रीहि; दम्पती द्वन्द्व-type.
8In तत्पुरुष समास, which member is generally considered प्रधान (principal)?
A.The second (latter) member
B.The first member only
C.Neither member — meaning is always outside
D.Only the verb, never a noun
Explanation: In तत्पुरुष the उत्तरपद (second member) is प्रधान; पूर्वपद modifies it by case relation. In बहुव्रीहि meaning points outside both members.
9Which of the following is a classic द्वन्द्व समास example?
A.पाप-पुण्य — 'sin and merit'
B.यथासमय — 'at the proper time'
C.राजमार्ग — 'royal road / highway'
D.चक्रपाणि — 'one who holds a discus'
Explanation: पाप-पुण्य coordinates two equal abstract nouns — द्वन्द्व. यथासमय अव्ययीभाव; राजमार्ग तत्पुरुष; चक्रपाणि बहुव्रीहि.
10Identify the समास in त्रिनेत्र ('three-eyed one', Shiva epithet).
A.बहुव्रीहि समास
B.तत्पुरुष समास
C.अव्ययीभाव समास
D.द्वन्द्व समास
Explanation: त्रिनेत्र means 'one who has three eyes' (Shiva), not merely 'three + eye' as objects — बहुव्रीहि external-reference pattern.
