Memory trick · Prashant Sir

In + Genius — जिसके अंदर genius हो, वही ingenious यानी बहुत चतुर और आविष्कारी। Ingenuous (भोला) से इसे अलग रखिए।

Split it as IN + GENIUS: a person with a genius inside is INGENIOUS, exceptionally clever and inventive. Do not mix it with ingenuous, which means innocent and simple.

Exam note

Ingenious (चतुर) और ingenuous (भोला) में एक अक्षर का फ़र्क़ है — SSC यही trap बनाता है। Inventive, resourceful, brilliant synonym हैं।

Ingenious (clever) versus ingenuous (innocent, simple) differ by one letter, and SSC uses exactly this trap. Inventive, resourceful and brilliant are synonyms.
