The correct answer is Option 1) i.e. A.

clipboardExplanation:

  • Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific.
  • Whereas the article 'a' is used with the name of things that are not specific.
  • The article 'an' is used with the words having 1st letter as a vowel and having the sound of a vowel.
  • Any abbreviation having the sound of a vowel will be preceded by the article 'an'.
  • For example:
    • He is a MLA.false (2)
    • He is an MLA.right (1)
  • According to the rule and the example given above, 'an' will be used instead of 'a' in the 1st part of the sentence.

Correct Sentence: Karun has an X-ray machine which is very significant for him due to many reasons.

 
  

  • ​​​If a word starts with a vowel but has the sound of a consonant, it will be preceded by the article 'a'.
  • Example: a university, a union, a one rupee note, etc.
