1What is the correct Yaṇ svara sandhi result of 'इति' + 'अपि'?
A.इत्यपि
B.इताप्या
C.इतेपि
D.इत्योपि
Explanation: According to Yaṇ svara sandhi (इको यणचि), when a short or long 'इ/ई' is followed by a dissimilar vowel, 'इ/ई' changes to 'य्'. Thus, 'इति' + 'अपि' becomes 'इत्यपि'.
2What is the correct Ayādi svara sandhi transformation for 'ने' + 'अनम्'?
A.नयनम्
B.नायनम्
C.नेयनम्
D.नोयनम्
Explanation: Under Ayādi sandhi (एचोऽयवायावः), the diphthong 'ए' followed by a vowel transforms into 'अय्'. Therefore, 'ने' + 'अनम्' yields 'नयनम्' (eye).
3Which form is obtained by joining 'ते' + 'अपि' under Pūrvarūpa svara sandhi?
A.तेऽपि
B.तेपि
C.त्यापि
D.तोपि
Explanation: According to Pūrvarūpa sandhi (एङः पदान्तादति), when a word ends in 'ए' or 'ओ' and is followed by a short 'अ', the 'अ' merges into the preceding vowel and is written with an avagraha symbol (ऽ). Hence, 'ते' + 'अपि' becomes 'तेऽपि'.
4What is the Jaśtva vyañjana sandhi output for 'जगत्' + 'ईशः'?
A.जगदीशः
B.जगत्ईशः
C.जगचीशः
D.जगतीशः
Explanation: By Jaśtva sandhi (झलां जशोऽन्ते), a final consonant of a varga changes to the third consonant (jaś sound) of its own class when followed by a vowel or voiced consonant. The dental 'त्' becomes voiced dental 'द्', yielding 'जगदीशः'.
5Which samāsa (compound) is exemplified by the word 'उपगङ्गम्' (meaning near the Ganges)?
A.अव्ययीभाव समास
B.द्विगु समास
C.द्वन्द्व समास
D.बहुव्रीहि समास
Explanation: In 'उपगङ्गम्' (गङ्गायाः समीपम्), the prefix 'उप' is an indeclinable (avyaya) denoting proximity, making the compound an Avyayībhāva samāsa where the indeclinable meaning is predominant.
6What type of compound is 'त्रिलोकी' (the aggregate of three worlds)?
A.द्विगु समास
B.तत्पुरुष समास
C.अव्ययीभाव समास
D.द्वन्द्व समास
Explanation: In 'त्रिलोकी' (त्रयाणां लोकानां समाहारः), the first word 'त्रि' is a numeral indicating quantity and the whole compound forms a collective noun (samāhāra), making it a Dvigu samāsa.
7Identify the samāsa classification for 'रामलक्ष्मणौ' (Rama and Lakshmana).
A.इतरेतर द्वन्द्व समास
B.अव्ययीभाव समास
C.कर्मधारय समास
D.द्विगु समास
Explanation: 'रामलक्ष्मणौ' (रामः च लक्ष्मणः च) combines two independent personal names joined by implied 'च' (and), taking dual ending, which defines an Itaretara Dvandva samāsa.
8In the sentence 'ग्रामम् अभितः वृक्षाः सन्ति', which vibhakti is applied to 'ग्रामम्' by the rule governing 'अभितः'?
A.द्वितीया विभक्ति
B.तृतीया विभक्ति
C.चतुर्थी विभक्ति
D.पञ्चमी विभक्ति
Explanation: According to the kāraka rule 'अभितः परितः समया निकषा हा प्रतियोगेऽपि', words governing indeclinables like 'अभितः' (on both sides of) require the accusative case (द्वितीया विभक्ति).
9Which vibhakti is used for bodily deformity under the rule 'येनाङ्गविकारः' (e.g., 'अक्ष्णा काणः')?
A.तृतीया विभक्ति
B.द्वितीया विभक्ति
C.षष्ठी विभक्ति
D.सप्तमी विभक्ति
Explanation: The rule 'येनाङ्गविकारः' prescribes Tṛtīyā vibhakti (instrumental case) for the specific limb or bodily part through which a physical disability or deformity is indicated (e.g., 'अक्ष्णा काणः' — blind in one eye).
10In 'गुरवे नमः', why does the noun 'गुरु' take Caturthī vibhakti ('गुरवे')?
A.Due to the rule 'नमःस्वस्तिस्वाहास्वधाऽलंवषट्योगाच्च'
B.Due to the rule 'साधकतमं करणम्'
C.Due to the rule 'कर्तुरीप्सिततमं कर्म'
D.Due to the rule 'धारेरुत्तमर्णः'
Explanation: The rule 'नमःस्वस्तिस्वाहास्वधाऽलंवषट्योगाच्च' specifies that words like 'नमः' (salutations) govern Caturthī vibhakti (dative case). Thus, 'गुरु' declaims as 'गुरवे'.
