Correct answer: B. मस्तक – तद्भव wordमस्तक – तद्भव शब्द
Explanation
'मस्तक' is taken straight from Sanskrit without change of form, so it is a तत्सम word; its तद्भव form is 'माथा'. भिक्षुक is तत्सम, खिचड़ी is देशज and अमानत is an Arabic (विदेशज) word, all correctly labelled. Hence मस्तक – तद्भव is the inconsistent pair.'मस्तक' संस्कृत से ज्यों-का-त्यों लिया गया है, अतः यह तत्सम शब्द है; इसका तद्भव रूप 'माथा' है। भिक्षुक तत्सम, खिचड़ी देशज तथा अमानत अरबी (विदेशज) शब्द है — ये तीनों सही अंकित हैं। अतः असंगत युग्म 'मस्तक – तद्भव शब्द' है।More Hindi Language & Pedagogy questions
