Solution
The correct option is A Jaltarang A wind musical instrument is one which produces music (sound) by the vibration of air inside of a hollow column or cavity present in it. A percussion musical instrument is one which produces music by the vibration of a membrane or surface, which is either tapped or beaten. A Jaltarang is a wind as well as a percussion instrument because it consists of a set of glass or metal vessels filled usually with water, and the level of water varies in each of the vessels. When the rim of each vessel is tapped with a wooden stick, the air present above the water level vibrates causing sound.
