Four pairs of words have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner, while one is different. Choose out the odd one.

The correct answer is

Saw : Carpenter

Odd One Out: Word Pair Analogy

The question requires identifying the word pair that does not share the same relationship as the others. We need to analyze the relationship between the profession and the associated item/tool in each pair.

Analyzing Word Pairs

  • Chef : Knife: A chef is a professional, and a knife is a primary tool they use. (Profession : Tool)
  • Saw : Carpenter: A carpenter is a professional, and a saw is a primary tool they use. However, the pair is presented as Tool : Profession.
  • Sculptor : Chisel: A sculptor is a professional, and a chisel is a primary tool they use. (Profession : Tool)
  • Doctor : Stethoscope: A doctor is a professional, and a stethoscope is a primary tool they use. (Profession : Tool)

Identifying the Different Pair

Options 1, 3, and 4 follow the consistent pattern of Profession : Tool. The item listed is a tool used by the profession.

Option 2, Saw : Carpenter, reverses this pattern to Tool : Profession. This makes it the odd one out.

Therefore, the pair 'Saw : Carpenter' is different because the order is inverted compared to the other profession-tool relationships.
