Permit : \underline{\hspace{1cm}} :: Enforce : Relax (By word meaning)
Show Hint
- Allow
- Forbid
- License
- Reinforce
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understand analogy structure.
Enforce : Relax are antonyms (opposites). So the missing pair must also be antonyms.
Step 2: Check options.
(A) Allow → synonym of Permit, not opposite. ✗
(B) Forbid → opposite of Permit. ✓
(C) License → synonym of Permit, not opposite. ✗
(D) Reinforce → unrelated to Permit. ✗
Step 3: Confirm analogy.
Just as Enforce is opposite of Relax, Permit is opposite of Forbid.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{Forbid}}
\]
Top Questions on Analogies
Here are two analogous groups, Group-I and Group-II, that list words in their decreasing order of intensity. Identify the missing word in Group-II.
Abuse \( \rightarrow \) Insult \( \rightarrow \) Ridicule
__________ \( \rightarrow \) Praise \( \rightarrow \) Appreciate
- Choose the most appropriate word to complete the analogy:
Courage : Bravery :: Yearning : If '$\rightarrow$' denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [simmer $\rightarrow$ seethe $\rightarrow$ smolder] is analogous to [break $\rightarrow$ raze $\rightarrow$ ____________].

- A DC series motor with negligible series resistance is running at a certain speed driving a load, where the load torque varies as the cube of the speed. The motor is fed from a 400 V DC source and draws 40 A armature current. Assume a linear magnetic circuit. The external resistance in ohms that must be connected in series with the armature to reduce the speed of the motor by half is closest to:

- The input voltage \( v(t) \) and current \( i(t) \) of a converter are given by, \[ v(t) = 300 \sin(\omega t) \, {V} \] \[ i(t) = 10 \sin\left(\omega t - \frac{\pi}{6}\right) + 2 \sin\left(3\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) + \sin\left(5\omega t + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \, {A} \] where \( \omega = 2\pi \times 50 \) rad/s. The input power factor of the converter is closest to:
