Q1Identify the correct लोट् लकार, परस्मैपद, मध्यमपुरुष एकवचन form of दा.

A देहि
B दास्यति
C ददातु
D ददाति
Explanation

For दा, the second-person singular command is the special form देहि, commonly used for 'give!'. Forms such as ददाति and दास्यति belong to लट् and लृट् respectively.

Q2Choose the correctly matched family-relation term.

A जामाता - sister
B दुहिता - maternal uncle
C पितामहः - paternal grandfather
D भगिनी - paternal grandfather
Explanation

पितामहः is the correct term for paternal grandfather. The other options mismatch sister, daughter, maternal uncle, and son-in-law, so they fail the relation-word pairing.

Q3Which option gives the instrumental singular of the pronoun अस्मद्?

A मया
B अहम्
C माम्
D अस्माभिः
Explanation

The first-person pronoun अस्मद् is irregular: nominative singular is अहम्, accusative singular is माम्, and instrumental singular is मया. अस्माभिः belongs to the plural.

Q4In the neuter declension of मनस्, which form is nominative plural?

A मनसि
B मनांसि
C मनः
D मनसी
Explanation

Neuter nouns have the same form in nominative and accusative for each number. For मनस्, the singular is मनः, the dual is मनसी, and the plural is मनांसि; hence the requested nominative plural is मनांसि.

Q5Which option gives the लृट् लकार, परस्मैपद, प्रथम पुरुष, एकवचन form of पच्?

A पक्ष्यति
B पचतु
C पचति
D अपचत्
Explanation

For पच्, the लृट् future stem appears as पक्ष्य-, so प्रथम पुरुष एकवचन is पक्ष्यति. Present, imperative, and imperfect alternatives are therefore outside the requested lakara.
