1In classical Indian music theory, instruments of the string family (plucked or bowed) are classified as:
A.Tata vadya
B.Sushira vadya only
C.Avanaddha vadya only
D.Ghana vadya only
Explanation: Tata vadya are chordophones—string instruments such as sitar, sarod, violin, and tanpura. Sushira are wind, avanaddha membrane percussion, and ghana solid idiophones.
2Bansuri and shehnai belong to which classical instrument family?
A.Sushira vadya (wind)
B.Tata vadya (string)
C.Avanaddha vadya (membrane drums)
D.Ghana vadya (solid struck)
Explanation: Sushira vadya produce sound from a vibrating air column. Bansuri (transverse bamboo flute) and shehnai (double-reed) are standard sushira instruments in Hindustani practice.
3Tabla and pakhawaj are examples of:
A.Avanaddha vadya
B.Tata vadya
C.Sushira vadya
D.Only ghana vadya
Explanation: Avanaddha vadya have a stretched membrane (skin) that vibrates when struck. Tabla (pair) and pakhawaj (barrel drum) are core Hindustani avanaddha instruments for tala accompaniment and solo.
4Manjira (hand cymbals) are classified as:
A.Ghana vadya
B.Tata vadya
C.Sushira vadya
D.Avanaddha vadya
Explanation: Ghana vadya are solid instruments that sound when struck against each other or with a beater, without strings, air columns, or membranes. Manjira and kartal are classic ghana examples.
5The seven basic tones of the Hindustani scale (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni) are called:
A.Swaras
B.Matras only
C.Vibhags only
D.Thekas only
Explanation: Swaras are the seven primary melodic degrees: Shadja, Rishabh, Gandhar, Madhyam, Pancham, Dhaivat, and Nishad. Instrumentalists locate them on frets, fingerboard, holes, or keys.
6Which pair of swaras is traditionally described as achal (immovable / fixed in pitch identity)?
A.Sa and Pa
B.Re and Dha only
C.Ga and Ni only
D.Ma and Ni only
Explanation: Sa (Shadja) and Pa (Pancham) do not take komal or tivra variants in standard Hindustani practice; they are achal. Re, Ga, Ma, Dha, and Ni can be vikrit (altered).
7A komal swara is:
A.A flattened (lowered) form of a variable note such as Re, Ga, Dha, or Ni
B.Always identical to tivra Madhyam
C.A note that can never appear in any raga
D.Only the upper octave Sa
Explanation: Komal means the lowered chromatic form of Re, Ga, Dha, or Ni relative to their shuddha positions. Tivra applies specifically to raised Madhyam (Ma).
8Saptak in Hindustani music refers to:
A.A register span of the seven swaras (commonly mandra, madhya, taar)
B.Only a 16-matra tala
C.Only the tabla pair names
D.A type of ghana instrument
Explanation: Saptak is the octave-like register containing Sa through Ni (and the next Sa). Mandra (lower), madhya (middle), and taar (upper) name the three commonly used registers on instruments.
9The metal plectrum worn on the right-hand finger for sitar is called:
A.Mizrab
B.Jawa
C.Surpeti
D.Ghungroo
Explanation: A mizrab is the wire plectrum used on sitar (and often surbahar) to strike the main playing strings. Jawa is associated with sarod; surpeti is a pitch-reference device; ghungroo are ankle bells.
10Tanpura (tambura) is primarily used to provide:
A.A continuous drone (typically Sa–Pa or Sa–Ma) supporting pitch reference
B.The main melodic solo line instead of any lead instrument
C.Only theka bols for Teentaal
D.Only ghana-style strikes
Explanation: Tanpura supplies a steady harmonic drone against which swaras and raga intonation are judged. It is not the melodic lead, nor a tala theka instrument.
