Correct answer: B. चिरायु – दीर्घायु (long-lived – long-lived)चिरायु - दीर्घायु
Explanation
Antonyms have opposite meanings. घमण्डी-विनीत, तारुण्य (youth)-वार्धक्य (old age) and तेजस्वी-निस्तेज are genuine opposites. चिरायु and दीर्घायु both mean 'long-lived', so they are synonyms, not antonyms. Hence the answer is चिरायु – दीर्घायु.विलोम शब्द परस्पर विपरीत अर्थ वाले होते हैं। घमण्डी-विनीत, तारुण्य-वार्धक्य तथा तेजस्वी-निस्तेज सही विलोम युग्म हैं। चिरायु और दीर्घायु दोनों का अर्थ 'लंबी आयु वाला' है, अतः ये पर्यायवाची हैं, विलोम नहीं। इसलिए असंगत युग्म चिरायु - दीर्घायु है।More Hindi Language & Pedagogy questions
