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}
Top Questions on Logical and Analytical Reasoning Skills
- An organization allows its employees to work independently on consultancy projects but charges an overhead on the consulting fee.
The overhead is 20% of the consulting fee if the fee is up to ₹5,00,000.
For higher fees, the overhead is ₹1,00,000 plus 10% of the amount by which the fee exceeds ₹5,00,000.
The government charges a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 18% on the total amount (i.e., the consulting fee plus the overhead).
An employee of the organization charges this entire amount — that is, the consulting fee, overhead, and tax — to the client.
If the client cannot pay more than ₹10,00,000, what is the maximum consulting fee that the employee can charge?

Eight students (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) are playing musical chairs. The figure indicates their order of position at the start of the game. They play the game by moving forward in a circle in the clockwise direction.
After the 1st round, the 4th student behind P leaves the game.
After the 2nd round, the 5th student behind Q leaves the game.
After the 3rd round, the 3rd student behind V leaves the game.
After the 4th round, the 4th student behind U leaves the game.
Who all are left in the game after the 4th round?
