Explanation:
Correct Answer: Both a & b
Both statements about Gaushalas are true:

- Statement b: Cows, calves, bulls, and bullocks are kept in Gaushalas — these are the productive/useful bovines.
Gaushala vs. Pinjrapole
- Gaushala: Productive animals only — cows, calves, bulls, bullocks. Community-charitable.
- Pinjrapole: Non-productive, old, disabled, unserviceable animals — includes animals other than cattle too (horses, donkeys, goats). Also community-charitable.
Memory Tip
Gaushala = Gau (cow) → productive bovines (cows, calves, bulls, bullocks).
Pinjrapole = Pinjra (cage/shelter) → all old/useless animals get refuge.
