Understanding the Word Pairs
To identify the pair that is differently related, we need to analyze the relationships between the words in each pair.
1. Pair Analysis
- Pen and Nib: A pen consists of multiple components, one of which is the nib. The nib is essential for writing, making this a direct relationship where one is part of the other.
- Water and Bucket: A bucket is a container used to hold water. This is a functional relationship, as the bucket is designed specifically for carrying or holding water.
- Ink and Inkpot: An inkpot is a container that holds ink. Similar to the previous examples, this pair also represents a functional relationship where one holds or stores the other.
- Oil and Lamp: Oil is often used as fuel in lamps, providing light. The relationship here is functional, where oil is necessary for the operation of a lamp.
2. Identifying the Odd Pair
The first three pairs (Pen and Nib, Water and Bucket, Ink and Inkpot) showcase a relationship where one item is either a part of or a container for the other. These relationships are closely related to utility or functionality.
3. The Differently Related Pair
- The pair Pen and Nib stands out because it indicates a part-to-whole relationship, while the others (Water and Bucket, Ink and Inkpot, Oil and Lamp) illustrate a more functional or utilitarian relationship.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option 'A' (Pen and Nib) as it represents a relationship that is fundamentally different from the other pairs, which are primarily focused on function rather than a part-whole connection.
