Guwahati

Identifying the Odd City

The question asks to identify the city that is different from the others in the given list. We need to find a common characteristic shared by three cities but not the fourth.

City Analysis

  • Thiruvananthapuram: It is the capital city of the Indian state of Kerala.
  • Imphal: It is the capital city of the Indian state of Manipur.
  • Guwahati: It is a major city and largest in Assam, but it is *not* the capital of Assam. Dispur is the capital.
  • Ranchi: It is the capital city of the Indian state of Jharkhand.

Reasoning for Odd City

Three of the cities listed (Thiruvananthapuram, Imphal, and Ranchi) are state capitals in India. Guwahati is the only city in the list that is not a state capital.

Therefore, Guwahati is the odd city out based on this criterion.
