Classification MCQ - 1 - Bank Exams MCQ

In this group of metals, one does not fit the same category as the others.

• Zinc is a metal commonly used for galvanising steel to prevent rusting.

• Iron is a fundamental metal known for its strength and is used in construction.

• Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, widely used in wiring.

• Aluminium is a lightweight metal, often used in packaging and construction.

• Mercury is unique as it is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature, making it distinct from the others.

Therefore, Mercury does not belong to the same group of solid metals.

Explanation:

• Silk, Wool, and Cotton are natural fibers obtained from animals or plants.
• Honey is a natural product derived from bees.
• Nylon is a synthetic fiber, differentiating it from the other four natural materials.

Therefore, Nylon is the odd one out.

The items listed can be categorised based on their characteristics. Here’s a breakdown of each item:

• Bread: A staple food made from flour and water, often baked.
• Pastry: A dough-based product, typically rich and flaky, used for making pies and tarts.
• Cake: A sweet baked treat, usually made with flour, sugar, and eggs, often enjoyed as a dessert.
• Biscuit: A small baked good, often crisp or crumbly, that can be sweet or savoury.

Among these items, Sweet stands out as it represents a flavour category, while the others are specific types of baked goods. Therefore, it does not fit with the group focused on specific food products.

Grouping Analysis:

- 52, 92, 78, 46: These numbers are all even numbers.
- 39: This number is the only odd number in the list.

Therefore, 39 does not belong to the group of even numbers.

Months of the Year

- May, July, December, January: These months have 31 days.
- June: This month has 30 days.

In this set of terms, four share a common characteristic, while one stands out as different.

• After refers to a time that follows an event.

• Before indicates a time that precedes an event.

• Now describes the present moment.

• Then pertains to a specific time in the past.

• Again suggests repetition or returning to a previous state.

Among these terms, Again is distinct because:

• It implies a sense of repetition rather than a specific time reference.
• The other four terms are related to time, while "Again" focuses on an action being repeated.

Thus, the term that does not belong to the group is Again.

Chin does not belong to the group.
All others have two vowels each

Explanation: The group consists of four entities that share a common characteristic, whereas one does not. Here’s a breakdown:

• Maharashtra, Manipur, and Mizoram are all states located in India.
• Myanmar is a country in Southeast Asia, distinct from the others.
• Mumbai is a city within Maharashtra, also part of India.

Thus, all but one option are related to India, making Myanmar the outlier.

To determine which one does not belong to the group, let's consider the characteristics of each animal:

1. Bullock
2. Giraffe
3. Ass
4. Camel
5. Donkey

Common Characteristics:

• Bullock, Ass, Camel, and Donkey are all domesticated animals commonly used for carrying loads or working in farms.
• Giraffe is a wild animal and not typically used for such purposes.

Conclusion:

The Giraffe does not belong to the group because it is not a domesticated animal used for labor or transportation like the others.

Correct answer: 2. Giraffe

In this problem, five colours are presented: Brown, Green, Yellow, Red, and Violet. Among these, four share a common characteristic, while one does not. The goal is to identify the odd one out.

• Brown - A neutral colour, often associated with earthiness.
• Green - A colour linked with nature, growth, and renewal.
• Yellow - A bright, cheerful colour associated with sunshine and happiness.
• Red - A bold colour often symbolising passion or danger.
• Violet - A colour that represents creativity and imagination.

To determine which colour does not belong, consider the following:

• Four of these colours are often considered primary or secondary colours, while Brown is a neutral colour.
• Green, Yellow, Red, and Violet are typically used in various colour models (such as the RGB model), while Brown is not.

Thus, the colour that does not fit with the others is Brown.

Four of the following five items share a common characteristic, while one does not belong to this group.

• Mug: A container typically used for drinking, often with a handle.
• Pitcher: A vessel used for holding and pouring liquids.
• Jar: A cylindrical container, usually with a wide mouth, used for storage.
• Saucer: A small, flat dish designed to hold a cup.
• Jug: Similar to a pitcher, used for holding and pouring liquids.

Among these items, the saucer stands out as it is the only item that is not primarily a container for liquids. The other four items (mug, pitcher, jar, and jug) are designed to hold or pour liquids, making them similar in function. In contrast, a saucer typically serves as a base for a cup, thus differentiating it from the rest.

To identify the odd one out among the numbers provided, we can analyse their properties.

• 25: This is a perfect square, as it can be expressed as 5 x 5.
• 81: Another perfect square, equal to 9 x 9.
• 169: This is also a perfect square, being 13 x 13.
• 144: This number is a perfect square, as it equals 12 x 12.
• 343: This number is not a perfect square. Instead, it is 7 x 7 x 7, or a perfect cube.

Thus, the number that does not belong to the group of perfect squares is 343.

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?

• Victory: Achieving success in a challenge or contest.

• Succeed: To accomplish a desired aim or purpose.

• Win: To be victorious in a game or competition.

• Compete: To take part in a contest or rivalry.

• Triumph: A great victory or achievement.

In this group, Victory, Succeed, Win, and Triumph all relate to the outcome of achieving success. In contrast, Compete refers to the act of participating in a contest rather than the result. Therefore, Compete does not fit with the others.

Avoid : keep away from or stop oneself from doing

Obstruct : prevent or hinder

Block : an obstacle to the normal progress

Hamper : to prevent someone doing something easily

Impede : delay or prevent  by obstructing them

In this grouping of activities, we can identify a common theme among four of them while one stands out as different.

• Table tennis is a fast-paced sport played with a small ball and paddles.

• Badminton involves a shuttlecock and is played on a court, similar to table tennis in terms of being a racquet sport.

• Volleyball is a team sport played on a court where players hit a ball over a net.

• Cricket is a bat-and-ball game but differs significantly from the above sports.

• Chess is a strategic board game that does not involve physical exertion like the others.

Thus, while all the listed activities share some competitive elements, chess stands out as it is not a physical sport like the others.

Explanation :Remaining are contain only consonants

To determine the odd one out, let's look at the pairs and see if there is a common pattern among them.

1. **YB**: 
   - Y is the 25th letter of the alphabet.
   - B is the 2nd letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (25 - 2 = 23).

2. **WZ**:
   - W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet.
   - Z is the 26th letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (26 - 23 = 3).

3. **AD**:
   - A is the 1st letter of the alphabet.
   - D is the 4th letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (4 - 1 = 3).

4. **IK**:
   - I is the 9th letter of the alphabet.
   - K is the 11th letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (11 - 9 = 2).

5. **MP**:
   - M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.
   - P is the 16th letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (16 - 13 = 3).

Most pairs have a common difference of odd number  between their positions in the alphabet. The pair **IK** has a difference of 2 (even), making it the odd one out.

So, the answer is:

4. **IK**

In this group, four terms are related, while one does not fit.

• Husband: A male partner in a marriage.

• Brother: A male sibling.

• Father: A male parent.

• Mother: A female parent.

• Sister: A female sibling.

Among these terms, Sister stands out as the only female sibling, whereas all others relate to male roles in a family. Thus, the one that does not belong to the group is Sister.
