Correct answer: C. माणिक्य – fat, माणिक्या – fishमाणिक्य – चर्बी, माणिक्या – मछली
Explanation
'माणिक्य' means a ruby (a precious red gem), not fat; the word for fat is 'मेदा/चर्बी'. The pairs बाज़ी–वाजी, मेध–मेघ and मुक्ता–मुक्ति are all distinguished correctly. Hence the wrong pair is माणिक्य – चर्बी, माणिक्या – मछली.'माणिक्य' का अर्थ माणिक अर्थात् लाल रत्न है, चर्बी नहीं; चर्बी के लिए 'मेद' शब्द है। बाज़ी–वाजी, मेध–मेघ तथा मुक्ता–मुक्ति के अर्थ-भेद सही दिए गए हैं। अतः अशुद्ध युग्म माणिक्य – चर्बी, माणिक्या – मछली है।More Hindi Language & Pedagogy questions
