Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
The hunters tried to hide the truth because they feared the wrath of the Maharaja. Missing the target could have angered him, as he was obsessed with killing all tigers to fulfill the prophecy of avoiding his death by a tiger. The king’s pride was at stake, and revealing that he had missed the target could make him lose face. They wanted to protect him from embarrassment and possible punishment.
