§Grammar and usage

Variation in sth ('variation in prices'); a variation on a theme.

Usage: 'variation in sth' का मतलब है किसी चीज़ में बदलाव, जैसे 'variation in prices'। 'a variation on a theme' का मतलब है किसी जाने-पहचाने विचार का नया रूप। दोनों में prepositions अलग हैं: in और on।

Keep the family together: vary (change), variety (many types), variation (a change or difference), variable (likely to change; in maths, a letter for an unknown quantity), various (several different).

परिवार साथ याद रखिए: vary (बदलना), variety (कई प्रकार), variation (बदलाव या अंतर), variable (बदलने वाला; गणित में अज्ञात राशि का अक्षर), various (अनेक भिन्न)।
