Find the odd one out:
Shirt and Tailor
Finding the Odd One Out
The question asks us to identify the pair that is different from the others in the given list. To do this, let's examine the relationship between the items in each pair.
Analyzing Each Pair
- Tea and Coffee: Both tea and coffee are popular beverages consumed widely. They belong to the same category of drinks.
- Cycle and Scooter: Both a cycle and a scooter are modes of personal transportation. They are used for commuting or travelling short distances.
- Rifle and Sword: Both a rifle and a sword are types of weapons. They are used for defense or combat.
- Shirt and Tailor: A shirt is an item of clothing, while a tailor is a person who makes or repairs clothing, including shirts. This pair consists of a product and the professional who creates or modifies it.
Identifying the Difference
When we look at the relationships, we see a pattern in the first three pairs:
- Tea and Coffee are both items within the same category (beverages).
- Cycle and Scooter are both items within the same category (modes of transport).
- Rifle and Sword are both items within the same category (weapons).
However, the pair "Shirt and Tailor" is different. A shirt is an object, and a tailor is a person who performs a service related to that object (making or altering it). The relationship is one of a product and its maker/service provider, not two items belonging to the same functional or categorical group.
Conclusion: The Odd Pair
Based on the analysis of the relationships between the items in each pair, the pair "Shirt and Tailor" does not follow the same pattern as the other pairs. The other pairs consist of two items from the same category or serving a similar function, whereas "Shirt and Tailor" consists of a product and the person who works with it.
Therefore, "Shirt and Tailor" is the odd one out among the given options.
Important Questions from Classification
In the following question, four number pairs are given. In each pair the number on left side of (-) is related to the number of the right side of (-) with some Logic/Rule/Relation. Three pairs are similar on basis of same Logic/Rule/Relation.
Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g.13 - Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)Three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group?
(Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.)Three of the following numbers are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
The following contains two pairs of words which are related to each other in a certain way. Three of the following four word-pairs are alike as these have the same relationship and thus form a group. Which word-pair does NOT belong to that group?
(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be grouped based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word)Three of the following four options are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group?
