Choose the correctly spelt word:
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Irresistible
Correct Answer: Option 3 — "Irresistible"
Correct spelling: I-R-R-E-S-I-S-T-I-B-L-E ✓
"Irresistible" = too attractive and tempting to be resisted; too powerful or convincing to be resisted. ✓
Structure: IR- (not) + RESIST + -IBLE (capable of)
• IR- = negative prefix (not) ✓
• RESIST = to withstand, refuse, or strive against ✓
• -IBLE = capable of (suffix) ✓
Key: double 'R' (IR-R- esistible ), and the suffix is '-IBLE' (not '-ABLE') ✓
Why other options are wrong:
Option 1 ' Iresistible ' — single 'r' instead of double ' rr ': 'I-r- esistible ' instead of 'I- rr - esistible .' ✗
Option 2 ' Irristable ' — wrong vowels: '- ist -able' instead of '- ist-ible '; also ' rrist ' vs ' rres .' ✗

Select the correctly spelt word.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Irresistible
Rule: irresistible *(अप्रतिरोध्य, जिसे रोका न जा सके)* = ir- (not) + resist + -ible.
The prefix *in-* becomes ir- before *r*, so the r is doubled: *ir + resistible*.
The word takes -ible, like *resistible, visible, possible*.
Break it up: ir-re-sist-i-ble.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Irresistable — wrong suffix; *resist* takes -ible, not *-able*.
#B Irresisteble — *-eble* is not an English suffix at all.
#B Iresistible — only one r; the prefix *ir-* plus *resist* gives a double r, as in *irregular, irrelevant*.
Answer: Irresistible
*Double r at the start, -ible at the end.* - SSC MTS 2023 Spelling
