Answer: 3 – Occupied
Solution (Correct Option – 3: Occupied):
The word "vacant" means not occupied, empty, or unfilled, especially referring to a post, position, or space (खाली).
The correct antonym is "occupied", which means filled, taken, or being used (भरा हुआ, कब्जे में).
Vacant – खाली, रिक्त
Occupied – भरा हुआ, किसी के द्वारा लिया गया
Why other options are incorrect:
Indistinct – Means unclear or not well-defined (अस्पष्ट), unrelated
Empty – A synonym of "vacant", not an antonym
Lucid – Means clear and easy to understand (स्पष्ट), unrelated to the idea of vacancy or occupation
Hence, Occupied is the most appropriate antonym of Vacant. - SSC Selection Post Ph-11 2023 Spelling
