QUESTION STATEMENT:

निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा मूल दीर्घ स्वर नहीं है?

Which of the following is not a primary long vowel (Mool Deergha Svara)?

SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
Aa
आ
B
Ee
ई
C
Oo
ऊ
D
O
ओ
Correct
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D (O)

हिन्दी में मूल दीर्घ स्वर तीन हैं: 'आ' (अ+अ), 'ई' (इ+इ), तथा 'ऊ' (उ+उ)। 'ओ' मूल दीर्घ स्वर नहीं है, बल्कि यह दो भिन्न स्वरों (अ + उ) के मेल से बनने वाला 'संयुक्त स्वर' है। अतः विकल्प D सही उत्तर है।

There are three primary long vowels in Hindi: 'आ', 'ई', and 'ऊ'. In contrast, 'ओ' is not a primary long vowel; it is a compound vowel (Samyukta Svara) formed by the junction of two distinct vowels (अ + उ). Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
