Which one among the following is NOT found in the Official Emblem of India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Tiger
The State Emblem of India is adapted from the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath. It shows:
Three lions standing back to back on top (the fourth is hidden from view)
On the round base (abacus) below them, a wheel (Dharma Chakra) in the centre, a bull on the right and a galloping horse on the left
The motto Satyameva Jayate written below in Devanagari script
The abacus of the original capital also carries an elephant and a lion, but there is no tiger anywhere on the capital or the emblem.
