Question

Which one of the following is odd pair of the words ?

The correct answer is
Dengue: Fever

This question tests your knowledge of diseases and their affected organs. The question asks to identify the odd pair.

Let's analyze each option:

  • Jaundice: Liver: Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and whites of the eyes, caused by a problem with the liver.
  • Rickets: Bones: Rickets is a disease that affects bone development in children, resulting in soft and weakened bones.
  • Tuberculosis: Lungs: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease primarily affecting the lungs.
  • Dengue: Fever: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes a flu-like illness. While it can cause a high fever, it's not primarily a disease *of* the fever itself. The fever is a symptom, not the defining characteristic of the disease.

The other three pairs represent a disease and the primary organ or system it affects. Dengue, while causing a fever, doesn't define fever as its primary target. Therefore, "Dengue: Fever" is the odd pair.

    Conventional classrooms, by emphasizing fixed duration over learning effectiveness, resign themselves
    to variable outcomes. The tyranny of the classroom is that every learner is subjected to the same set of
    lectures in the same way for the same duration. In the end, a few learners shine, some survive, and the
    rest are left behind. After the fixed duration, the classroom model moves on, with not a thought spared
    for those left behind. This is how we end up with 10 percent employability in our graduates after a
    decade and half of formal education. Repeating the same ineffectual script in the realm of skill education
    will not produce different results.
