Which of the following words is always used in the masculine gender?
- Aचूहा (Rat)
- Bशेर (Lion)
- Cभालू (Bear)
- Dगधे (Donkeys)
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
In Hindi grammar, some words are inherently masculine (नित्य पुल्लिंग) and require the prefix 'मादा' (female) to form their feminine counterpart. 'भालू' (Bear) is one such word. On the other hand, 'चूहा' becomes 'चुहिया', 'शेर' becomes 'शेरनी', and 'गधा' becomes 'गधी'.
