'कृतज्ञ' शब्द का विलोम शब्द क्या है?

1. a. अकृतज्ञ
2. b. कृतार्थ
3. c. उपकृत
4. d. कृतघ्न

Correct answer: D

Explanation: 'कृतज्ञ' (उपकार मानने वाला) का विलोम 'कृतघ्न' (उपकार भूलने वाला) है। 'अकृतज्ञ' व्याकरणतः बन तो सकता है पर मानक विलोम नहीं; 'कृतार्थ' (काम सिद्ध हुआ) और 'उपकृत' (उपकार पाया हुआ) समानार्थी दिशा के शब्द हैं — इसीलिए भ्रम होता है।

2. b. बहुत मेहनत करना
3. c. किसी को धोखा देना

1. a. धरा
2. b. जगत्
3. c. धरती
4. d. भू

Correct answer: B

Explanation: धरा, धरती और भू — तीनों 'पृथ्वी' के पर्यायवाची हैं। 'जगत्' का अर्थ है संसार/लोक (world) — पृथ्वी से संबंधित होते हुए भी उसका पर्याय नहीं। इसीलिए उत्तर 'जगत्' है।

1. a. आशिर्वाद
2. b. आर्शीवाद
3. c. आशीर्वाद
4. d. आर्शिवाद

1. a. दुर्बोध
2. b. दुर्लभ
3. c. दुर्गम
4. d. दुर्जय

1. a. Sister
2. b. Mother
3. c. Aunt
4. d. Grandmother

1. a. 185
2. b. 190

1. a. Akbar
2. b. Babur
3. c. Humayun
4. d. Haji Begum

Correct answer: D

Explanation: The relation is monument : its builder. Humayun's Tomb was built by Humayun's widow Haji Begum — the namesake need not be the builder (that is the 'Humayun' trap). Akbar and Babur are unconnected with this construction.

1. a. RIAHC
2. b. RAIHC
3. c. HCAIR

2. b. Chamoli
3. c. Pithoragarh
4. d. Dehradun

Correct answer: A

Explanation: Uttarkashi (~8,000 sq km) is the largest of the 13 districts; Chamoli is second and Pithoragarh third. Dehradun is famous as the capital but small in area — the 'famous = large' assumption is the trap.

1. a. Gangotri
2. b. Gomukh
3. c. Uttarkashi
4. d. Devprayag

Correct answer: B

Explanation: Gomukh, the snout of the Gangotri glacier, is the true origin; Gangotri town is a famous shrine 19 km downstream — the 'famous shrine = origin' assumption is the trap. Uttarkashi is a route town and Devprayag the Bhagirathi–Alaknanda confluence.

Which Uttarakhand dham lies in the Mandakini river valley?

1. a. Badrinath
2. b. Gangotri

Correct answer: C

Explanation: Kedarnath stands in the Mandakini valley (Rudraprayag); Badrinath on the Alaknanda, Gangotri on the Bhagirathi and Yamunotri at the Yamuna's origin — the dham–river map is what this tests, not mere names.

4. d. 1974 — Gaura Devi

Explanation: In March 1973 Reni's women, led by Gaura Devi, hugged trees to stop the contractors' axes. Sunderlal Bahuguna championed the movement but did not lead the Reni action — the name–role confusion is the trap, with one-year offsets in the options.

1. a. कवियित्री
2. b. कवित्री
3. c. कविनी
4. d. कवयित्री

Correct answer: D

Explanation: 'कवि' का शुद्ध स्त्रीलिंग 'कवयित्री' है (कवि + यित्री)। 'कवियित्री' और 'कवित्री' अशुद्ध वर्तनी हैं, 'कविनी' बना हुआ रूप नहीं है — यही निकट-वर्तनी भ्रम परीक्षा में पूछा जाता है।

'निंदा' शब्द का विलोम शब्द क्या है?

1. a. प्रशंसा
2. b. निंदनीय
3. c. गर्हा
4. d. स्तुति

Correct answer: D

Explanation: 'निंदा' का मानक विलोम 'स्तुति' है। 'प्रशंसा' अर्थ में निकट है पर मानक विलोम-युग्म निंदा–स्तुति है; 'गर्हा' निंदा का ही पर्याय है और 'निंदनीय' विशेषण रूप — दोनों भ्रम हेतु रखे गए हैं।

1. a. उद्गम

3. c. उत्थान

Explanation: 'उदय' (निकलना/उठना) का विलोम 'अस्त' (डूबना/छिपना) है — सूर्योदय–सूर्यास्त युग्म से याद रखें। 'उद्गम', 'उन्नत' और 'उत्थान' तीनों 'उदय' की दिशा के ही शब्द हैं, विलोम नहीं — उपसर्ग-समानता का भ्रम ही परीक्षा का जाल है।

Question 4

इनमें से कौन-सा शब्द 'सूर्य' का पर्यायवाची नहीं है?

1. a. प्रभात
2. b. रवि
3. c. भास्कर
4. d. आदित्य

Explanation: रवि, भास्कर और आदित्य — तीनों 'सूर्य' के पर्यायवाची हैं। 'प्रभात' का अर्थ है भोर/सुबह (morning) — सूर्य से संबंधित समय, उसका पर्याय नहीं। इसीलिए उत्तर 'प्रभात' है।

2. b. The conclusion does not follow
3. c. Cannot be determined

1. a. Nephew
2. b. Son
3. c. Brother

Correct answer: B

Explanation: Since the man is his own father's only son, 'my father's only son' refers to the man himself. So the boy is the man's own son.
