Beginner's luck

The correct answer is: Option 3.

Key Points

• The idiom "Beginner's luck" refers to achieving unusual or unexpected success during one's first attempt at something. (शुरुआती भाग्य)
  • Example: Despite never playing poker before, John won the game on his first try. Everyone said it was beginner's luck.
• "Beginner's luck" is commonly used to describe scenarios where a novice or someone new to an activity performs exceptionally well, often better than expected. (शुरुआती प्रयास में अप्रत्याशित सफलता)
  • Example: Sarah baked a perfect cake on her first attempt, which was clearly beginner's luck.
• Hence, the correct meaning of the idiom is "To get unusual or unexpected success in one’s first attempt in doing something".

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 3.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Option 1: To be successful all the time (हर समय सफल होना) — This does not accurately describe beginner’s luck, as the idiom specifically refers to success in the first attempt, not ongoing success.
  • Example: Jane is successful at everything she does, but this isn’t beginner’s luck—it’s her hard work and experience.
• Option 2: To be lucky in achieving one’s goals (अपने लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त करने में भाग्यशाली होना) — While this suggests luck, it doesn’t specifically refer to the first attempt, which is the key aspect of beginner’s luck.
  • Example: Paul was lucky in achieving his career goals, but this took years of effort, not beginner’s luck.
• Option 4: To work hard to achieve success (सफलता प्राप्त करने के लिए कड़ी मेहनत करना) — This contradicts the idea of beginner’s luck, which implies success without much effort or experience.
  • Example: Hard work leads to consistent success, unlike beginner’s luck, which is unexpected.
