Option (ख) is correct because both Gopalprasad and Ramsaroop are deeply entrenched in traditional beliefs and engage in show-offs. Ramsaroop hides his daughter Uma's college education (B.A.) and her glasses to present her as a traditional, domestic girl, while Gopalprasad insists on superficial beauty, horoscopes (जन्मपत्र), and pretends to be from a respectable family despite his son's disgraceful actions at a girls' hostel. Both men try to impress each other with fake formalities and laughter, proving they are victims of show-off and tradition.
