QUESTION STATEMENT:

निम्न में अर्धस्वर कहलाता है-

Which of the following is designated as a semi-vowel (Ardhasvar)?

SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
Ya
य
Correct
B
Ma
म
C
Ra
र
D
La
ल
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Ya)

विकल्प (A) सही है क्योंकि 'य' विशुद्ध अर्धस्वर है (य और व अर्धस्वर कहलाते हैं)। विकल्प (B) गलत है क्योंकि 'म' नासिक्य स्पर्श व्यंजन है। विकल्प (C) गलत है क्योंकि 'र' लुंठित/प्रकंपी व्यंजन है। विकल्प (D) गलत है क्योंकि 'ल' पार्श्विक व्यंजन है।

Option (A) is correct because 'Ya' functions as a pure semi-vowel in Hindi phonetics along with 'Va'. Option (B) is a nasal stop consonant. Option (C) 'Ra' is a trill/rolled consonant (Lunthit). Option (D) 'La' is a lateral consonant (Parshvik).
