This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Tinsukia

Identify the Odd City Among Given Options

The question asks to find the word that does not belong with the others from the list: Jaipur, Tinsukia, Dehradun, Kohima.

Analyze City Classifications

We need to identify a common characteristic shared by three cities but not the fourth.

  • Jaipur: Capital city of Rajasthan.
  • Tinsukia: A city in Assam, but not the state capital (Dispur is the capital).
  • Dehradun: Capital city of Uttarakhand.
  • Kohima: Capital city of Nagaland.

Determine the Differentiating Factor

Three of the cities (Jaipur, Dehradun, Kohima) are state capitals in India. Tinsukia is a significant city but is not a state capital.

Conclusion

Therefore, Tinsukia is the odd one out because it is the only city listed that is not a state capital.
