CAT Question of the Day
Answer the question based on the passage given below.

A second myth describes a tantric battle waged between the lovely queen Ratnavali and the wicked sorcerer Singha Sevra, who was attracted by the queen's beauty. Singha Sevra chhatri can be seen on the top of the hill. Desperately, he tried to trap her in his magical web, and failed every time, as the queen herself was a past-mistress in the tantric art. The last battle took place on the day when the queen eventually lost her temper, transformed a glass bottle containing massaging oil into a big rock and flung it towards the hill-top, where sat the devil. In vain he tried to stall this glass missile. It was too late. Sensing his imminent death, concentrating all his powers, he spat his dying curse: "I die! But thou too, thou Ratnavali shall not live here anymore. Neither thou, nor thine kin, nor these walls of the city. None shall see the morning sun!". The night was spent transferring the palace treasures to the new site of Ajabgarh. In the morning came the tempest leveling everything to the ground. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has put up a signboard at Bhangarh stating (among others): "Entering the borders of Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited." Tourists who visit this place say that there is a strange feeling in the atmosphere of Bhangarh, which causes symptoms of anxiety and restlessness.

Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?
OPTIONS
 
 1)The Queen Ratnavali had a nasty temper, and that was the sole reason behind Bhangarh's unravelling. The Queen Ratnavali must have had many suitors, some of them well-versed in the tantric art.
 2)The Queen Ratnavali had a nasty temper, and that was the sole reason behind Bhangarh's unravelling.
 3)Bhangarh is presumed to be haunted.
 4)Bhangarh is haunted, which is why there is a strange feeling in the atmosphere.
 5)The massaging oil in the glass bottle could be converted into a weapon to destroy the devil.
Tip of the Day
