Memory trick · Prashant Sir

'जो न दे पाए Instalment, वही Insolvent।' जो अपने loan की instalment भी न चुका पाए, वह insolvent यानी दिवालिया। फ़र्क़ समझिए: ग़रीब के पास पैसा कम है, पर insolvent वह है जो लिया हुआ उधार भी नहीं लौटा पा रहा।

Remember the line 'jo na de paaye instalment, wahi insolvent' (one who cannot pay the instalment is insolvent). A person who cannot pay even the instalments of his loans is INSOLVENT, bankrupt. Note the difference: a poor man simply has little money, but an insolvent man cannot repay what he has borrowed.

Exam note

'Incapable of paying debts' पर Insolvent आता है। Bankrupt, broke synonym; solvent antonym। Insolent (बदतमीज़ — impudent, impertinent) से अलग रखिए; debt में 'b' silent है।

Asked as 'incapable of paying debts'. Bankrupt and broke are synonyms; solvent is the antonym. Do not confuse it with insolent (rude, like impudent and impertinent). Note the silent 'b' in debt.
