Hindi Grammar Questions and Answers: HTET PGT (2012-13 Paper) Explained

Hindi Grammar Questions and Answers – HTET PGT 2012-13 Paper

“Hindi grammar questions and answers” is usually a search for one specific thing: not a lecture on grammar theory, just the question, the correct option, and enough reasoning to see why the other three are wrong. That’s what this page is built around, eight questions from the HTET Level 3 (PGT) 2012-13 paper’s Hindi section, with the logic behind each answer laid out below the quiz rather than left for you to guess at.

Answers and Reasoning

राजन का स्त्रीलिंग है: राज्ञी। Not रानी. रानी is the general word for “queen,” but राज्ञी is specifically the feminine form of राजन् (king) as a grammatical rule, the kind of distinction that separates a vocabulary question from a grammar one.

‘ढ’ वर्ण का उच्चारण स्थान: मूर्धा। The entire ट-वर्ग (ट, ठ, ड, ढ, ण) is articulated at the मूर्धा (roof of the mouth, behind the ridge). If you know one member of the वर्ग, you know the उच्चारण स्थान for all five, which makes this a rule worth memorising once rather than word by word.

‘स्वामी विवेकानंद ने सभा में उपदेश दिया’: कर्तृवाच्य (active voice). The subject (विवेकानंद) performs the action directly. It becomes कर्मवाच्य only if the sentence were restructured around the object receiving the action, “उपदेश दिया गया।”

‘बंदर’ का पर्यायवाची नहीं है: शक्र। हरि, मर्कट, and शाखामृग are all genuine synonyms for बंदर. शक्र means इन्द्र, a completely different word that only sounds like it might belong in this set.

‘अनु’ उपसर्ग से नहीं बना: अनूठा। अनुगामी, अनुपात, and अनुकरण are all built by adding अनु to a root. अनूठा is a standalone word (meaning unique or unparalleled) where अन् isn’t functioning as the same उपसर्ग, which is exactly the kind of near-miss HTET tests for.

‘न अंधे को न्योतते न दो जने आते’ का अर्थ: न ऐसा कार्य करते न मुसीबत खड़ी होती। The lokokti is about avoiding a problem at the source rather than dealing with its consequences later.

‘आभ्यन्तर’ का विलोम: बाह्य। आभ्यन्तर means internal or inward-facing, and बाह्य is the direct opposite, external. अंतर and भीतर are close in meaning to आभ्यन्तर itself, not its opposite, which is why they’re there as distractors.

‘आदर’ से विशेषण: आदरणीय। आदरपूर्वक is an adverb (describing how something is done), not an adjective. आदरणीय, meaning “worthy of respect,” is the correct विशेषण form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these official HTET answers, or worked out independently?

The questions and options are from the actual 2012-13 HTET Level 3 Hindi paper. The reasoning given for each answer is independent analysis based on standard Hindi grammar rules, since HTET doesn’t publish detailed answer explanations alongside its papers.

Why do some of these answers feel counterintuitive?

Because the distractors are built to sound plausible. राजन/रानी and आभ्यन्तर/अंतर are both cases where the “obvious” answer is close in meaning but grammatically wrong, which is a deliberate exam-writing technique, not a trick unique to this set.

Is memorising these eight answers useful for the actual exam?

Only marginally, since the exact words won’t repeat. What transfers is the pattern: वर्ग-based उच्चारण rules, उपसर्ग versus standalone words that look like they have one, वाच्य identification from sentence structure. Learn the pattern, not the specific answer.

Where can I find more questions like these?

Two companion sets on this site pull from the 2011 and 2013 HTET Hindi papers, covering different specific words but the same question categories.
