If ‘\(\rightarrow\)’ denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words {charm} ---- {enamor} ------ {bewitch} is analogous to {bored} ----- _________ ---- {weary} . Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
If ‘\(\rightarrow\)’ denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words {charm} ---- {enamor} ------ {bewitch} is analogous to {bored} ----- _________ ---- {weary} . Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
Show Hint
- jaded
- baffled
- dead
- worsted
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The question presents two analogies, each depicting a progression of intensity or depth in a specific context.
- In the first analogy {charm} -------- {enamor} ----------- {bewitch} , the progression shows increasing levels of attraction or captivation, where "bewitch" represents the strongest intensity.
- The second analogy {bored} ________ ------ {weary} mirrors this concept, reflecting increasing levels of disinterest or fatigue.
The word jaded aptly fits between bored and weary, as it denotes a state of tiredness or overexposure that transitions into weariness. This progression aligns perfectly with the given pattern. Final Answer: {(1) jaded}

The 12 musical notes are given as \( C, C^\#, D, D^\#, E, F, F^\#, G, G^\#, A, A^\#, B \). Frequency of each note is \( \sqrt[12]{2} \) times the frequency of the previous note. If the frequency of the note C is 130.8 Hz, then the ratio of frequencies of notes F# and C is:
- In a computer game, each move requires pressing a button. When the button is pressed for the first time, as a move, the computer randomly chooses a cell from a 4x4 grid of sixteen cells and puts an "X" mark on that cell. When the button is pressed subsequently, the computer randomly chooses a cell from the remaining unmarked cells and puts an "X" mark on that cell. This goes on till the end of the game. The game ends when either all the cells in any one row, or all the cells in any one column, are marked with "X". What is the maximum possible number of times a player has to press the button to finish the game?
