Question

The Ramayana narrates events believed to have taken place in the __________ Yuga or Age.
(A) Sat
(B) Dwapar
(C) Kali
(D) Treta

Answer 1

Hint: According to Hinduism, there are four types of yugas (ancient time periods): Sat Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapar Yuga and Kali Yuga. You have to know about the time period in which the ramayana is written and about the events. Continually build the meaning of the ancient words then choose the correct one which is acceptable by the sentence.

Complete answer:
Option A) Sat :- In Hinduism, the Satyuga is the first of the four yugas. It is the “Yuga of Truth”, when humanity is governed by gods, and every manifestation or the work is close to the purest ideal and humanity will allow intrinsic goodness to rule supreme. And in this yuga Lord Vishnu came in the ending. Hence, this yuga doesn't refer to ramayana.
Option B) Dwapar :- In Hinduism, the Dwapar Yuga is the third out of four yugas. It describes in the scriptures of Hinduism. In Sanskrit it literally means “two ahead”, that is something in the third place. This yuga follows the treta yuga and precedes the Kali Yuga. It ends with the Death of Lord Krishna. Hence, this yuga refers to Mahabharata.
Option C) Kali :- In Hinduism, Kali yuga is the last of four stages. In this YUga Kalki avatar will come only at the endtime. Hence, this yuga doesn't refer to ramayana.
Option D) Treta :- In Hinduism, Treta yuga is the second of the four yugas. In this yuga Ramayana occurred, hence this option is correct.

Hence, option D is the right option to be opted.

Note:
Ramayana narrates the life of Rama, prince of the legendary kingdom of Kosala. Ramayana took place before Mahabharata but Ramayana was written much after the Mahabharata. It was first written by the poet VALMIKI .
