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}

- 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?

The diagram below represents a road network connecting five towns, namely Meeren, Lannisport, Winterfell, Oldtown, and Gulltown. The maximum speed limits along any stretch of road are as shown in the diagram. The straight road that connects Meeren to Gulltown passes through Oldtown. Another straight road, running west to east, connecting Meeren to Winterfell, passes through Lannisport. Further, two straight roads, one from Lannisport to Oldtown and another from Winterfell to Gulltown, are perpendicular to the road joining Meeren to Winterfell, and run from south to north.
Consider a car always travelling at the maximum permissible speed, and always taking the shortest route. It takes 1 hour to reach Oldtown from Meeren, 2 hours to reach Gulltown from Oldtown, and 45 minutes to reach Winterfell from Gulltown. (For this problem, always consider the shortest route in terms of distance.)

GadRev is a rm that reviews different latest gadgets through a team of four reviewers (R1, R2, R3, and R4). Recently the reviewers reviewed four different tech gadgets (A, B, C, and D) on a scale of 1 to 5 (all integer values) where 1 denotes poor and 5 denotes excellent. These review ratings were then tabulated. However, due to a technical glitch, some of these ratings got deleted. The average rating given by each reviewer, and the average rating given to each gadget were earlier communicated to the team management in a separate email and hence can be useful to retrieve the deleted ratings. The available ratings along with the average ratings are represented in the following table:
