Question

Which of the following options is NOT one of the meanings of the homonym 'resolution'?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

A written agreement between two companies involved in a merger

The question asks which option is NOT a recognised meaning of the word 'resolution', so we verify each listed sense.

'Resolution' can mean a firm decision or determination to do something, as in a New Year's resolution, which validates option 1.

It can also mean the degree of detail or clarity of an image or display, as in 'a high-resolution screen', which validates option 2.

It further means the act of solving or settling a problem, dispute or difficulty, as in 'the resolution of the conflict', which validates option 4.

Option 3 describes 'a written agreement between two companies involved in a merger'; that is a contract, deal or agreement, and is not a sense carried by 'resolution'.

Note that in formal bodies a 'resolution' is a formal proposal put to a vote, not a private agreement between two firms, so option 3 still does not match.

Hence the option that is NOT a meaning of 'resolution' is A written agreement between two companies involved in a merger.
