Memory trick · Prashant Sir

गणित का obtuse angle याद कीजिए — भोथरा, बिना नुकीली नोक वाला कोण। भोथरा दिमाग़, जो देर से समझे, वह भी obtuse। उल्टा acute — तेज़ कोण, तेज़ दिमाग़।

Remember the obtuse angle from maths: a blunt, wide angle with no sharp point. A blunt mind that is slow to understand is also obtuse. The opposite is acute — a sharp angle and a sharp mind.

Exam note

Antonym में astute, bright, smart, intelligent, acute आते हैं। Obtuse और acute दोनों senses में opposite हैं — कोण भी, बुद्धि भी।

Antonym options are astute, bright, smart, intelligent and acute. Obtuse and acute are opposites in both senses — angle and intelligence.
