Question

‘तत्सम’ शब्द कौन-सा है?

  1. A. उज्ज्वल (Correct answer)
  2. B. उजाला
  3. C. उज्जवल
  4. 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.
