How to limit search results to a specific content source ?

Question
-
I have the following requirement.
Create a basic search center and limit the search results to a specific content source.
To achieve this, In SharePoint 2010, I used to create a scope where I can specify the content source and use this scope at search center
How do I achieve the same in SharePoint 2013. I know Scopes are deprecated in SharePoint 2013 and how exactly I can achieve this using Result Sources and Query rules.
(While Creating Result source or Query Rules , Is there a way to specify content source the way we used to specify while creating a scope in SharePoint 2010)
Thanks in advance !

Hi Ganesh,
When you build your query on basics, there contentsource property filter, you can set it to a specific content source.
