Which of the following is a pure long vowel (Deergha Svara)?

SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
Aa
आ
Correct
B
O
ओ
C
E
ए
D
Ai
ऐ
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Aa)

हिन्दी में मूल दीर्घ स्वर सजातीय मेल से बनते हैं: अ + अ = आ, इ + इ = ई, उ + उ = ऊ। अतः 'आ' मूल दीर्घ स्वर है। विकल्प B (ओ), C (ए), और D (ऐ) विजातीय स्वरों के मेल से बनने के कारण 'संयुक्त स्वर' कहलाते हैं (अ + इ = ए, अ + ए = ऐ, अ + उ = ओ, अ + ओ = औ)।

Pure long vowels (Mool Deergha Svara) are formed by combining identical vowels: अ + अ = आ, इ + इ = ई, उ + उ = ऊ. Therefore, 'आ' is a true long vowel. Options B (ओ), C (ए), and D (ऐ) are categorized specifically as compound vowels (Samyukta Svara) because they result from the fusion of two dissimilar vowels.
