Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Reduce को produce के साथ रखिए: produce में चीज़ आगे लाई जाती है, बढ़ती है; reduce में उसे पीछे लाया जाता है, यानी size, amount या price कम किया जाता है। यहाँ 're' को 'पीछे' समझिए।

Set REDUCE beside 'produce'. To produce is to bring something forth and add to it; to reduce is to bring it back down, making it smaller in size, amount or price. 'Re' here works like 'back'.
