Finding the Odd One Out Based on Relationships
The question asks us to identify the pair among the given options that has a different relationship compared to the others. Let's examine the relationship between the items in each pair.
| Pair | Relationship Analysis |
|---|---|
| Silk and Shirt | A Shirt is made from Silk. This is a Material and Product relationship. |
| Wood and Table | A Table is made from Wood. This is also a Material and Product relationship. |
| Oil and Lamp | A Lamp uses Oil as fuel to function. This is a Fuel and Device relationship. |
| Water and Ice | Ice is the solid state of Water. This is a Substance and its State relationship. |
Now, let's compare the relationships:
- Silk and Shirt: Material $\rightarrow$ Product
- Wood and Table: Material $\rightarrow$ Product
- Oil and Lamp: Fuel $\rightarrow$ Device/Usage
- Water and Ice: Substance $\rightarrow$ State
We observe that the pair "Silk and Shirt" and the pair "Wood and Table" both represent a "Material and Product made from that Material" relationship. The pair "Water and Ice" represents a "Substance and its physical State". The pair "Oil and Lamp" represents a "Fuel and the Device that uses the Fuel".
While there are two pairs showing a Material-Product relationship, the relationship in "Oil and Lamp" (Fuel-Device) is distinct from the others, including the Substance-State relationship in "Water and Ice". The relationship between Oil and Lamp is based on usage or function, where one item is consumed or used by the other to operate. This differs from items being made from a material or being different forms of the same substance.
Therefore, based on the type of relationship, the pair Oil and Lamp is the odd one out.
