- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Matriculation Level) Antonyms
Choose the antonym of "Relevance".
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Irrelevance
Meaning: relevance = the quality of being closely connected to the matter in hand *(प्रासंगिकता)*.
Its opposite is irrelevance = the quality of being unconnected or beside the point *(अप्रासंगिकता)*.
The prefix ir- (not) reverses it, as in *regular → irregular*.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Significance = importance *(महत्त्व)* — near in sense to relevance.
#B Applicability = the quality of being suitable or usable for a case *(लागू होने की क्षमता, प्रयोज्यता)* — a synonym.
#B Pertinence = direct connection with the subject *(उपयुक्तता, प्रासंगिकता)* — a synonym.
Answer: Irrelevance
*Before r, the negative prefix in- becomes ir-: irrelevant, irregular, irresponsible.*
