Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. कुमार
Explanation
कुजन (कु + जन), कुचेष्टा (कु + चेष्टा) and कुमति (कु + मति) all carry the prefix कु meaning 'bad'. कुमार is a single indivisible word meaning a boy or prince; its 'कु' is part of the root, not a prefix.कुजन (कु + जन), कुचेष्टा (कु + चेष्टा) तथा कुमति (कु + मति) में 'कु' उपसर्ग 'बुरा' अर्थ में लगा है। कुमार एक अखण्ड शब्द है जिसका अर्थ बालक या राजकुमार है; इसका 'कु' उपसर्ग नहीं, मूल शब्द का ही अंश है।More Hindi Language & Pedagogy questions
