Correct answer: B. lotus – cloud (कमल – बादल)कमल – बादल
Explanation
'अंबुज' = अंबु (जल) + ज (जन्मा) = that which is born in water, i.e. lotus. 'अंबुद' = अंबु + द (देने वाला) = giver of water, i.e. cloud. So the pair is कमल – बादल.‘अंबुज’ = अंबु (जल) + ज (जन्मा) अर्थात् जल में उत्पन्न, यानी कमल। ‘अंबुद’ = अंबु + द (देने वाला) अर्थात् जल देने वाला, यानी बादल। अतः सही युग्म कमल – बादल है।More Hindi Language & Pedagogy questions
