Question

Accepted Answer

Option 3 is the correct answer because "भगिनी + य = भागिनेय" is the only option where the resulting word ("भागिनेय") doesn't directly represent the abstract quality or state derived from the base word ("भगिनी"). "भगिनी" means sister, and "भागिनेय" means sister's son (nephew). The addition of "य" doesn't create an abstract noun related to "sister" in the same way it does in the other options.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

*   **Option 1: निपुण + य = नैपुण्य:** "निपुण" means skilled or expert, and "नैपुण्य" means skill or expertise. The addition of "य" correctly transforms the adjective "निपुण" into the abstract noun "नैपुण्य," representing the quality of being skilled.

*   **Option 2: ईश्वर + य = ऐश्वर्य:** "ईश्वर" means God or Lord, and "ऐश्वर्य" means glory, wealth, or divine power. The addition of "य" correctly transforms "ईश्वर" into "ऐश्वर्य," representing the qualities or attributes associated with God.

*   **Option 4: विशिष्ट + य = वैशिष्ट्य:** "विशिष्ट" means specific or special, and "वैशिष्ट्य" means specialty or uniqueness. The addition of "य" correctly transforms the adjective "विशिष्ट" into the abstract noun "वैशिष्ट्य," representing the quality of being specific or unique.

In summary, only in Option 3 does the addition of "य" not result in a word that represents the abstract quality or state of the original word. Instead, it creates a word with a different, concrete meaning (sister's son). Therefore, Option 3 is the असंगत (inconsistent) option.
