Q:

Modern : Antiquated :: Weak : ?

A) Strong B) Fragile
C) Inadequate D) Puny
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Strong

Explanation:

Modern is used to refer to something new whereas antiquated is used with respect to something old.

In other words, both terms are the opposite of each other.


From the above analysis, the missing word should be a word that represents the opposite of weak. Strong is used to with great influence. Therefore, the apt word is strong or any synonym of strong like potent, powerful, keen,...

 

Hence, Modern : Antiquated :: Weak : Strong.

Q:

Today is Varun's birthday. One year, from today he will be twice as old as he was 12 years ago. How old is Varun today ?

A) 20 years B) 22 years
C) 25 years D) 27 years
