Category: Karnataka Gk

Hint: Consider the cultural significance and traditional practices of Karnataka.

Correct Answer: C) Only 3,.

Exam Relevance: UPSC, SSC, Bank PO, State PSC

Difficulty: Moderate

Explanations:

The question involves evaluating three statements about cultural and mathematical facts related to Karnataka. Let's break down each statement:

1. "Type of metal handicraft from modelling Bidar, Karnataka is not called as Bidriware." This statement is false. Bidriware is indeed a type of metal handicraft that originates from Bidar, Karnataka. It is known for its intricate designs and the use of zinc and copper alloys, often inlaid with silver. The name "Bidriware" comes from the city of Bidar, where this craft has been practiced for centuries.

2. "The number 3165 is divisible by 9." This statement is false. To determine if a number is divisible by 9, we use the divisibility rule for 9, which states that a number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. For the number 3165, the sum of the digits is 3 + 1 + 6 + 5 = 15. Since 15 is not divisible by 9, 3165 is not divisible by 9.

3. "Yakshagana is a popular form of dance in Karnataka." This statement is true. Yakshagana is a traditional dance-drama form that is popular in the coastal and Malenadu regions of Karnataka. It is a vibrant and colorful art form that combines dance, music, dialogue, costume, make-up, and stage techniques with a unique style and form. Yakshagana is an integral part of the cultural heritage of Karnataka and is recognized as a significant traditional art form.

Given these evaluations, the correct answer is Option C, which states that only the third statement is true. The first statement is false because Bidriware is indeed a type of metal handicraft from Bidar, Karnataka. The second statement is false because 3165 is not divisible by 9. The third statement is true, as Yakshagana is a popular form of dance in Karnataka.

Option Analysis:
  • Option A: This option is incorrect because the first statement is false. Bidriware is indeed a type of metal handicraft from Bidar, Karnataka. The second statement is true, as 3165 is divisible by 9. However, the third statement is also true, and this option does not include it.
  • Option B: This option is incorrect because the first statement is false. Bidriware is a type of metal handicraft from Bidar, Karnataka. The second statement is true, as 3165 is divisible by 9. The third statement is true, but this option does not include the first statement.
  • Option C: This option is correct. The first statement is false because Bidriware is a type of metal handicraft from Bidar, Karnataka. The second statement is false because 3165 is not divisible by 9 (3+1+6+5=15, which is not divisible by 9). The third statement is true, as Yakshagana is a popular form of dance in Karnataka.
  • Option D: This option is incorrect because the first statement is false. Bidriware is a type of metal handicraft from Bidar, Karnataka. The second statement is false because 3165 is not divisible by 9. The third statement is true, but this option incorrectly includes the first two false statements.
