?Which word?

Keep apart poisonous (harmful if eaten or touched) and venomous (animals that inject poison by biting or stinging); GK: the king cobra is the longest venomous snake.

Poisonous (खाने या छूने पर हानिकारक) और venomous (काटकर या डंक मारकर ज़हर डालने वाले जीव) को अलग रखिए; GK में किंग कोबरा सबसे लंबा विषधर साँप है।
