The musical instrument 'Kartal' from the state of Rajasthan comes under the category of ______.

idiophones

The correct answer is Option (4) → idiophones

The musical instrument 'Kartal' from the state of Rajasthan comes under the category of idiophones.

Here's why:

• Idiophones are instruments that produce sound by the vibration of the entire instrument itself.
• A kartal is essentially two wooden or plastic discs attached by a string or handle.
• The sound is produced by striking the two discs together, causing them both to vibrate and create a clicking sound.

Therefore, due to the entire instrument vibrating to create sound, the kartal falls under the category of idiophones.
