•
विधान b: *"Some grains are not less nutritious than rice."* (काही धान्ये तांदळापेक्षा कमी पौष्टिक नाहीत) — हे कनिष्ठतादर्शक (Comparative of inferiority) अचूक रूपांतर आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (4) a and b only
Explanation:
The question tests comparative degree conversion of a sentence featuring 'at least as... as'.
Detailed Analysis:
1.
Base Positive: *"Some grains are at least as nutritious as rice."*
2.
Meaning: Rice does not surpass all other grains in nutritional value; certain grains match or exceed it.
3.
Comparative forms:
•
Sentence a: *"Rice is not more nutritious than some other grains are."* — Correct comparative of superiority.
•
Sentence b: *"Some grains are not less nutritious than rice."* — Correct comparative of inferiority (*not less... than*).
•
Sentence c: Uses *least nutritious than*, which is ungrammatical (*least* cannot be followed by *than*).
4.
Therefore, both sentences a and b are valid comparative degree conversions.
Hence, Option (4) is correct.
📌 MPSC Exam Tip:
Both *not more... than* and *not less... than* represent valid comparative degree transformations.
