Which Veda is the oldest Veda ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Rigveda
The Rigveda is the oldest of the four Vedas, composed roughly between 1500 and 1000 BCE. It has 1,028 hymns (suktas) in ten books (mandalas), praising gods such as Agni, Indra and Varuna.
The other Vedas are the Samaveda, the Yajurveda and the Atharvaveda; the Ayurveda, the science of medicine, is an Upaveda, not one of the four Vedas.
