Correct answer: C
'Dusryachya manatle jaannaara' (one who reads another's mind) matches 'Manakavadaa'—literally mind-reader. 'Antardnyaanee' is inner knowledge; 'Antardhaan' is disappearance; 'Bhavishyavettaa' is fortune-teller—only (k) captures thought-reading, not prophecy or vanishing.
Read full explanation →Correct answer: B
The answer is option B: Compound 'mano-kaamana' uses the correct samasa vowel: manah→mano before kaamana (desire of mind). 'Manah-kaamana' keeps crude vowel; 'Manakaamana' drops the hyphen but wrong sandhi; duplicate 'Mano-kaamana' in (D) is a typographic trap—(B) is standard orthography. You can eliminate A (Manah-kaamana), C (Manakaamana), D (Mano-kaamana) — each one conflicts with the principle or calculation that leads to option B. MPSC papers often recycle this type of detail, so read the question carefully before you commit to an option.

Option C matches the question because Kaal (tense) is so named because it is marked on the verb to show when the action occurs—time sense from verb inflection. It is not named after kartaa/karma alone, nor is it a separate part of speech; all listed functions together miss the time-from-verb definition. Distractors A (Kriyaapadaalaa), B (Kartaa, karma, kriyaapad yaanchya yogya…), D (Vareel sarv paryaay barobar) look plausible but do not follow from the facts stated in the question. If the question asks what is incorrect, identify the false statement first and then match it to the answer choice.

'Udyaa' (tomorrow) in the sentence is a pure shabdyogi avyay—independent time adverb without case inflection. It is not kriya visheshan (which modifies verbs like 'slowly'); vibhakti pratirup avyay would show case endings like 'tyaamule'.
Read full explanation →Correct answer: D
Option D is the right choice since 'Sampaadan' (compilation/editing) is a Sanskrit tatsama without upasarga in standard form. 'Binadhokt' has vi+an+..., 'Shravaneeya' has shru root with suffix, 'Bhandaai' is colloquial—'Sampaadan' stands as the upasarga-free Sanskrit loan in the set. You can eliminate A (Binadhokt), B (Shravaneeya), C (Bhandaai) — each one conflicts with the principle or calculation that leads to option D. Keep the name, formula, and unit together in your notes — that helps you spot incomplete distractors quickly.

Adjective-type matching: Darshak (II) 'Shreemant…garva'; Prashnarthak (IV) 'Hee mulagee chalaakh'; Sambandhi (I) 'Jo mulagaa vyaayaam…'; Naam sadrushya (III) 'Kon manushya…'—order II, IV, I, III = option (A). Swapping sambandhi with prashnarthak breaks relative-clause vs question-word tests.
