QUESTION STATEMENT:

स्त्रीलिंग-पुल्लिंग का कौन-सा जोड़ा सही नहीं है?

Which masculine-feminine gender pair is incorrect?

SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
Dev - Devi
देव-देवी
B
Mama - Mami
मामा-मामी
C
Kaant - Kaanti
कान्त-कान्ती
Correct
D
Gadha - Gadhi
गधा-गधी
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Kaant - Kaanti)

'कान्त' (पति/सुन्दर पुरुष) का स्त्रीलिंग 'कान्ता' (पत्नी/सुन्दर स्त्री) होता है, 'कान्ती' नहीं (कान्ति का अर्थ चमक/शोभा होता है)। अतः विकल्प (c) गलत जोड़ा है।

The feminine counterpart of 'Kaant' (husband/beloved) is 'Kaanta' (wife/beloved lady), not 'Kaanti' (which means radiance/luster). Thus, (c) is the incorrect pair.
