Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. G M D D P → Bageshri: The phrase G M D D P is a signature pakad (catchphrase) of Raga Bageshri. It reflects its characteristic melodic movement, descending from Dha to Pa smoothly with emphasis on Ma and Ga.
2. DMPDG, MGRS → Madhyam Gram: This phrase shows a typical Madhyam Gram scale treatment, which is an ancient pitch system where the Pancham is tuned differently. The phrase uses Madhyam prominently.
3. Three shruti pancham → Bhairav: In the old shruti (microtone) system, Bhairav raga’s Pancham is said to be three shrutis above its base — a technical reference in ancient texts for tuning.
4. Ragvivekadhyaya → Sangeet Ratnakar: Ragvivekadhyaya is one of the chapters in Sharngadeva’s famous music treatise, Sangeet Ratnakar. This text discusses raga classification, grammar, and shruti theory.
