?Which word?
ductile or malleable?
Both describe metals that can be shaped without breaking. Ductile means able to be drawn into wire (duct- means lead or draw, as in conduct and aqueduct). Malleable means able to be hammered into sheets (from the Latin for hammer). Gold is both; it makes the finest wire and the thinnest leaf.
दोनों ऐसी धातुओं के लिए हैं जिन्हें बिना तोड़े आकार दिया जा सके। Ductile का अर्थ 'खींचकर तार बनाने योग्य' है (duct- का अर्थ ले जाना या खींचना है, conduct और aqueduct की तरह)। Malleable का अर्थ 'पीटकर चादर बनाने योग्य' है (Latin में 'हथौड़ा' से)। सोना दोनों है; इससे सबसे पतला तार और सबसे पतली परत बनती है।
The ductile/malleable pair is a science and vocabulary item.
Ductile और malleable की जोड़ी विज्ञान और vocabulary में पूछी जाती है।

One-word substitution
A metal that can be drawn into wire is ductile; one that can be beaten into sheets is malleable; one that breaks easily is brittle.
'जिसे खींचकर तार बनाया जा सके' ductile, 'जिसे पीटकर चादर बनाया जा सके' malleable और 'जो आसानी से टूट जाए' brittle है।
General knowledge
Gold is the most ductile metal; one gram can be drawn into two kilometres of wire.
सोना सबसे ductile धातु है; एक ग्राम से दो किलोमीटर तार बन सकता है।
