Statement 1: The original words of a language are called Tatsam. Statement 2: Words that came into Hindi from foreign languages are called Tadbhav.

SELECT CORRECT OPTION:

कथन 2 सही है
B
Both statements 1 and 2 are correct
कथन 1 व 2 दोनों सही हैं
C
Statement 1 is correct
कथन 1 सही है
Correct
D
Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect
कथन 1 व 2 दोनों गलत हैं
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Statement 1 is correct)

कथन - 1 सही है; क्योंकि किसी भाषा के मूल शब्द को तत्सम कहते हैं (तत् + सम = उसके समान)। कथन - 2 गलत है, क्योंकि विदेशी भाषाओं से हिन्दी में आए शब्दों को 'विदेशज' शब्द कहते हैं, तद्भव नहीं। तद्भव वे शब्द हैं जो संस्कृत से प्राकृत/अपभ्रंश होकर परिवर्तित रूप में हिन्दी में आए हैं।

Statement 1 is correct because the original ancestral words (specifically Sanskrit words used unchanged in Hindi) are called Tatsam (tat + sam = like that). Statement 2 is incorrect because words borrowed from foreign languages are called Videshaj (loanwords), whereas Tadbhav words are historically evolved from Sanskrit through Prakrit/Apabhramsha.
