Vigyan Velugu, one of the new popular science magazines of CSIR-NIScPR, is published in which language?
- A.Tamil
- B.Telugu
- C.Marathi
- D.Assamese
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Telugu. Of the five magazines released, Vigyan Velugu is the Telugu title. Option A is wrong because the Tamil magazine is named Ariviyal Arikkaiyalar. Option C is wrong because the Marathi magazine is Vidnyan Kshitij. Option D is wrong because the Assamese magazine is Bigyan Lahar; the Bengali one, not listed here, is Bigyan Brittanto. All five are published by the CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research and carry both translated articles and original writing from their own regions. Matching each magazine with its language is the most likely way this news will be tested, so the five pairs should be learnt together rather than one by one. Remember also that the five new titles sit alongside three older ones, taking the institute's popular science publishing from three languages to eight in all, a point that can be asked directly.
