Nandini Rane answered
Odd one out: Calendar, Year, Date, Month, Day

Explanation:
The question asks to identify the word that is different from the rest. Let us analyze each option:

- Calendar: A calendar is a system of organizing days for social, religious, commercial, or administrative purposes. It consists of a set of pages showing the months, weeks, and days of a particular year. It is a collection of dates, months, and days.
- Year: A year is the time taken by the earth to complete one revolution around the sun. It is a unit of time, consisting of 365 or 366 days.
- Date: A date is a specific day in a calendar year, often represented by a combination of day, month, and year.
- Month: A month is a division of the year into twelve parts, based on the phases of the moon. Each month has a varying number of days, ranging from 28 to 31.
- Day: A day is the time taken by the earth to complete one rotation on its axis. It is a period of 24 hours.

From the above explanation, it is clear that all the options are related to time and the calendar system. However, the odd one out is "Calendar" because it is a collection of dates, months, and days, whereas the other options represent units of time.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - Calendar.

Shreya Rane answered
Explanation:



To solve this question, we need to identify the word that is different from the rest. Let's analyze each word:

Physics: Physics is a branch of science that deals with matter, energy, and the interactions between them. It focuses on the study of natural phenomena, including motion, forces, and energy.

Chemistry: Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter. It involves the study of atoms, molecules, and their interactions.

Geography: Geography is the study of the Earth's physical features, climate, and the distribution of plants, animals, and human populations. It includes the analysis of landforms, weather patterns, and geographical regions.

Botany: Botany is the scientific study of plants, including their structure, growth, reproduction, and classification. It covers a wide range of topics related to plant life and their interactions with the environment.

Zoology: Zoology is the branch of biology that focuses on the study of animals, including their classification, behavior, physiology, and evolution. It involves the analysis of animal species, their habitats, and their interactions with other organisms.

Different Word: The word that is different from the rest is Geography. While the other four words (Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology) are all scientific disciplines that focus on the study of different aspects of the natural world, Geography is a social science that deals with the study of Earth's physical features and human populations.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Geography.

Question -
Choose the word which is different from the rest.
  • a)
    Sheep
  • b)
    Shrew
  • c)
    Ibex
  • d)
    Gazelle
  • e)
    Tapir
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Talent Triumphacademy answered
To determine which word is different from the rest in the list provided (Sheep, Gazelle, Ibex, Shrew, Tapir), we can analyze the characteristics of each animal:
  • Sheep: A domesticated animal that is often kept for its wool, meat, and milk. It belongs to the family Bovidae.
  • Gazelle: A wild animal known for its speed and grace, part of the Antelope family, typically found in Africa and parts of Asia.
  • Ibex: A wild goat species known for its impressive curved horns, also part of the Bovidae family and typically found in mountainous regions.
  • Shrew: A small, insectivorous mammal that resembles a mouse but is more closely related to moles and hedgehogs. It does not belong to the same category as the others, which are ungulates (hooved animals).
  • Tapir: A large herbivorous mammal resembling a pig with a trunk, found in tropical forests of Central and South America and Southeast Asia. It is also part of the odd-toed ungulates.
From this analysis, we see that Shrew is the odd one out because it is not an ungulate (hooved animal) like the others (Sheep, Gazelle, Ibex, and Tapir).
Thus, the word that is different from the rest is:
d) Shrew.
