Q1. Statement I: If इ or ई is followed by a different vowel, य् is inserted and yaṇ sandhi is formed. Statement II: If उ or ऊ is followed by a different vowel, व् is inserted and yaṇ sandhi is formed. Statement III: If अ or आ is followed by इ or ई, य् is inserted and yaṇ sandhi is formed. Which of the above statements are correct?
Explanation
Option B is correct. In yaṇ sandhi, इ/ई before a different vowel changes to य्, and उ/ऊ before a different vowel changes to व्. Statement III is wrong because अ/आ + इ/ई gives guṇa sandhi, forming ए, not yaṇ sandhi.
