When someone is described as mentally challenged, it typically means they have intellectual disabilities that may affect their cognitive functioning, problem-solving skills, and ability to learn at the same pace as their peers. It is a term used to describe individuals with limitations in intellectual and adaptive functioning.

What is meant by physically challenge give its type and some examples of any girl who is suffering from physically challenge?

"Physically" is an adverb and so it can only modify "challenge" when it is a verb or "challenged" when used as an adjective. To challenge can mean to invite someone into a contest or fight. It can mean to provide difficulties in completing something. In this particular case, it is a euphemism, a politically correct term for someone who, by reason of injury or disease, is impaired or impeded in ordinary bodily or mental functions. Such a person is called "challenged"; "mentally challenged" if their problem is mental, "visually challenged" if they can't see right, and "physically challenged" particularly when the problems involve the limbs and muscle system. So, you can't say "a girl who is suffering from physically challenge." That is not English. You need to say, "a girl who is physically challenged". That means, a girl whose legs have been amputated, who is paralysed from the waist down, suffers from uncontrollable muscle spasms, or muscle deterioration, or was born without arms or something similar.
