Question

Look at the given picture carefully and identify the building:

• A. Rashtrapati Bhavan
• B. Nirvachan Sadan
• C. Parliament of India
• D. Supreme Court of India

Hint:

Look at the plan of the building and at what stands behind it. A dome would mean Rashtrapati Bhavan, but a triangular building next to a circular one points somewhere else.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:

• Each of the four buildings in the options has a distinct shape, and identification depends on matching the outline in the picture with the correct one.
• The new building of the Parliament of India has a triangular plan, which sets it apart from every other building in the list.

Step 1: Read the shape shown in the picture.
The building has a clear triangular plan, with long straight wings meeting at corners and a wide entrance in the middle. Behind it stands a circular structure topped by a sculpture.

Step 2: Test option (A), Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Rashtrapati Bhavan is known for its large central dome and its long colonnaded front. No dome of that kind appears in the picture, so this is ruled out.

Step 3: Test option (D), Supreme Court of India.
The Supreme Court building is designed to resemble a pair of scales, with a central wing and wings on either side. The shape in the picture does not match.

Step 4: Test option (B), Nirvachan Sadan.
Nirvachan Sadan is the office of the Election Commission of India. It is an ordinary office block and is not a landmark of this size or design.

Step 5: Confirm option (C).
The triangular building shown is the new Parliament House of India, and the circular structure visible behind it is the old Parliament building with the national emblem above.

Final Answer: (C) Parliament of India
