Question
‘तत्सम’ शब्द कौन-सा है?
- A. उज्ज्वल (Correct answer)
- B. उजाला
- C. उज्जवल
- D. उद्खल
Correct Answer
Option A — उज्ज्वल
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is उज्ज्वल.
Key Points
- उज्ज्वल is the correct तत्सम form, taken unchanged from Sanskrit उद् + ज्वल्.
- उजाला is its तद्भव descendant; उज्जवल is simply a common misspelling (the conjunct is ज्ज्व, not ज्जव).
Additional Information
- तत्सम–तद्भव pairs worth memorising: अग्नि–आग, दुग्ध–दूध, हस्त–हाथ, सूर्य–सूरज, कर्ण–कान, मयूर–मोर.
