In the following question, select the odd word pair from the given alternatives.
This question asks us to identify the word pair that is different from the other three. We need to look at the relationship between the words in each pair and see which relationship is unique.
Analyzing Word Pair Relationships
Let's examine the relationship between the two words in each option:
- Scooter - Vehicle: A scooter is a specific type of vehicle. The relationship is "Specific is a type of Category".
- Triangle - Figure: A triangle is a specific type of geometric figure. The relationship is "Specific is a type of Category".
- Kidney - Organ: A kidney is a specific type of organ in the human body. The relationship is "Specific is a type of Category".
- Fruit - Apple: An apple is a specific example of a fruit. The relationship here is "Category followed by an Example" or "Category which contains this Specific item".
Identifying the Odd Word Pair
Comparing the relationships:
- In pairs 1, 2, and 3, the pattern is (Specific item) - (General Category).
- In pair 4, the pattern is (General Category) - (Specific Example).
The fourth pair, Fruit - Apple, has the relationship reversed compared to the other three pairs. While an apple is a type of fruit, the order presented is Category followed by Specific, unlike the others which are Specific followed by Category.
Therefore, the word pair Fruit - Apple is the odd one out.
Summary of Word Pair Relationships
| Word Pair | Relationship |
|---|---|
| Scooter - Vehicle | Specific is a type of Category |
| Triangle - Figure | Specific is a type of Category |
| Kidney - Organ | Specific is a type of Category |
| Fruit - Apple | Category followed by an Example |

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 20 m high building with a speed of 12 m/s. It hits the ground at a distance R from the building. Taking g = 10 m/s2 and neglecting air resistance will give :
A sphere of volume V is made of a material with lower density than water. While on Earth, it floats on water with its volume f1V (f1 < 1) submerged. On the other hand, on a spaceship accelerating with acceleration a < g (g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) in outer space, its submerged volume in water is f2V. Then:
A railway wagon (open at the top) of mass M1 is moving with speed v1 along a straight track. As a result of rain, after some time it gets partially filled with water so that the mass of the wagon becomes M2 and speed becomes v2. Taking the rain to be falling vertically and the water stationery inside the wagon, the relation between the two speeds v1 and v2 is :
Consider the following statements:
1. Distance between the longitudes becomes zero on North Pole and South Pole.
2. Distance between the longitudes is maximum on the Equator.
3. Number of longitudes is more than number of latitudes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
One block of 2⋅0 kg mass is placed on top of another block of 3⋅0 kg mass. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0⋅2. The bottom block is pulled with a horizontal force F such that both the blocks move together without slipping. Taking acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2, the maximum value of the frictional force is :
