Question

In the following question, a pair of related words is given, followed by five lettered pairs. Select the lettered pair that best shows a relationship similar to the original pair.

**PERTINENT : RELEVANCE**

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The word *Pertinent* means something that is relevant or closely related to the matter at hand.

2. *Relevance* is the quality of being closely connected or appropriate, so it is a synonym of *Pertinent*.

3. We need to find a pair where the first word is synonymous or closely related in meaning to the second word.

4. Checking the options:
   - *Obscure* means unclear or unknown, while *Ingenious* means clever or inventive. These are not synonyms.
   - *Incompetence* means lack of ability, and *Credulity* means gullibility; these are unrelated.
   - *Persecution* means harassment, and *Imbecile* means a foolish person; no synonymy.
   - *Inane* means silly or stupid, and *Ludicrous* means ridiculous or absurd. These two words are synonyms.
   - *Rendezvous* means a meeting, and *Assiduous* means showing great care or perseverance; unrelated.

5. Therefore, the pair *Inane : Ludicrous* best matches the relationship of *Pertinent : Relevance*.

**Answer:** Option (d) *INANE : LUDICROUS*
