Question

14. Why did the Brahmin accept Akbar's challenge ? (Birbal’s Khichdi) * 1. because he was greedy. 2. because he was very wise. 3. because he was extremely poor. 4. because he wanted to prove himself strong​

Answer 1

The Brahmin accepted Akbar's challenge 3. because he was extremely poor.

• The question is in reference to the story 'Birbal's Khichdi'.
• In the story, Birbal tells Akbar that a person would do anything in return of money.
• To prove his point, Birbal brings the Brahmin who is very poor to the court.
• The Brahmin accepts Akbar's challenge of standing in the cold water as he was poor and in need of money.
• Other options, such as option 2. because he was very wise is not correct as Birbal is the one who is wise in the story.
