Directions for Questions 1 to 5: Choose the word which is least like other words in the group.
Q1. Choose the correct word.
1. Zebra
2. Lion
3. Tiger
4. Horse
5. Giraffe
Ans: (4)
Explanation: Zebra, Lion, Tiger and Giraffe are naturally wild animals that live in natural habitats without regular human care. A Horse, on the other hand, is commonly domesticated and kept by humans for riding, work or transport. Therefore Horse is the odd one out.
Q2. Choose the correct word.
1. Parrot
2. Bat
3. Crow
4. Sparrow
5. Pigeon
Ans: (2)
Explanation: Parrot, Crow, Sparrow and Pigeon all belong to the class Aves (they are birds). A Bat is a mammal, not a bird, so it is the odd one out.
Q3. Choose the correct word.
1. Copper
2. Zinc
3. Brass
4. Aluminium
5. Iron
Ans: (3)
Explanation: Copper, Zinc, Aluminium and Iron are elemental metals. Brass is an alloy (a mixture, typically of copper and zinc) rather than a pure metal element. Hence Brass is different from the rest.
Q4. Choose the correct word.
1. Apple
2. Marigold
3. Rose
4. Lily
5. Lotus
Ans: (1)
Explanation: Marigold, Rose, Lily and Lotus are all types of flowers. Apple is a fruit, so it does not belong to the same category as the others.
Q5. Choose the correct word.
1. January
2. May
3. July
4. August
5. November
Ans: (5)
Explanation: January, May, July and August each have 31 days. November has 30 days, so it differs from the others and is the odd one out.
Directions for Questions 6 to 9: Choose the odd pair of words.
Q6. Choose the odd pair.
1. Blacksmith : Anvil
2. Carpenter : Saw
3. Barber: Scissor
4. Goldsmith : Ornaments
5. Sculptor ; Chisel
Ans: (4)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 2, 3 and 5 the second word is a tool used by the person named first (a blacksmith uses an anvil, a carpenter a saw, a barber scissors, a sculptor a chisel). In pair 4 the second word is the product made by the goldsmith (ornaments), not a tool. Therefore pair 4 is different.
Q7. Choose the odd pair.
1. Painter : Gallery
2. Actor : Stage
3. Mason : Wall
4. farmer : Field
5. Worker : Factory
Ans: (3)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 2, 4 and 5 the second word denotes the typical place of work for the person named first (a painter works in/for galleries, an actor on a stage, a farmer in a field, a worker in a factory). In pair 3 the second word (wall) is the product created by the mason, not his workplace. Hence pair 3 is the odd one out.
Q8. Choose the odd pair.
1. Cow : Calf
2. Dog : Bitch
3. Lion : Cub
4. Tortoise : Turtle
5. Insect : Larva
Ans: (2)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 3 and 5 the second word is the young or juvenile form of the first (calf of a cow, cub of a lion, larva of an insect). In pair 4 tortoise and turtle are related species rather than parent/young. In pair 2, however, "bitch" means an adult female dog, not a young animal. Thus pair 2 is different because it denotes gender rather than age.
Q9. Choose the odd pair.
1. Volume : Litre
2. Time : Seconds
3. Length : Metre
4. Resistance : Ohm
5. Pressure : Barometer
Ans: (5)
Explanation: In pairs 1 to 4 the second word is the standard unit of measurement for the physical quantity named first (litre for volume, seconds for time, metre for length, ohm for resistance). In pair 5 the second word, barometer, is an instrument used to measure pressure, not the unit of pressure. Therefore pair 5 is the odd one.
Q10. Choose the odd pair.
1. White : Dirty
2. Easy : Difficult
3. Brave : Coward
4. End : Beginning
Ans: (1)
Explanation: Pairs 2, 3 and 4 are clear antonyms (easy-difficult, brave-coward, end-beginning). White and dirty are not direct opposites in the same way; white is a colour and dirty describes a state of cleanliness, so pair 1 does not form a strict antonym pair like the others.
Directions for Questions 11 to 15: In each of the following questions, five pairs of words are given, out of which the words is four pairs bear a certain common relationship. Choose the pairs in which the words are differently related.
Q11. Choose the pairs in which the words are differently related.
1. Shoe : Leather
2. Iron : Axe
3. Table : Wood
4. Jewellery : Gold
5. Shirt : Fabric
Ans: (2)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 3, 4 and 5 the first item is a product made from the second (a shoe from leather, table from wood, jewellery from gold, shirt from fabric). In pair 2 the order is reversed: iron is the material and axe is the product made from it. Thus pair 2 differs in the relationship.
Q12. Choose the pairs in which the words are differently related.
1. Mason : Wall
2. Cobbler : Shoe
3. Farmer : Crop
4. Chef : Cook
5. Choreographer : Ballet
Ans: (4)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 2, 3 and 5 the second item is something produced or created by the person named first (a mason builds a wall, a cobbler repairs/makes a shoe, a farmer produces a crop, a choreographer creates a ballet). In pair 4, however, "chef : cook" does not follow that same pattern: a chef is a person and to cook is an action (or a cook can be a person). The relationship is not the same type of producer-product relation, so pair 4 is different.
Q13. Choose the pairs in which the words are differently related.
1. Daring : Timed
2. Beautiful : Pretty
3. Clear : Vague
4. Youth : Adult
5. Native : Alien
Ans: (2)
Explanation: Pairs 1, 3, 4 and 5 are opposites (daring-timid [likely intended], clear-vague, youth-adult, native-alien). Pair 2 (beautiful-pretty) are synonyms, meaning similar rather than opposite. Therefore pair 2 is the differently related pair.
Q14. Choose the pairs in which the words are differently related.
1. See : Eye
2. Hear : Ears
3. Smell : Nose
4. Touch : Skin
5. Tongue : Taste
Ans: (5)
Explanation: In pairs 1 to 4 the first word is a function performed by the organ named second (see by eye, hear by ears, smell by nose, touch by skin). In pair 5 the order is reversed: the tongue is the organ and taste is the function, so the relationship differs from the others.
Q15. Choose the pairs in which the words are differently related.
1. Bottle : Wine
2. Cup : Tea
3. Pitcher : Water
4. Ball : Bat
5. Inkpot : Ink
Ans: (4)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 2, 3 and 5 the first item is a container used to hold the second (bottle holds wine, cup holds tea, pitcher holds water, inkpot holds ink). In pair 4 a ball and a bat are both sporting items used together; the bat does not hold the ball. Hence pair 4 is different.
Directions for Questions 16 to 20: In each of the following questions, certain pairs of words are given, out of which the words in all pairs except one, bear a certain common relationship. Choose the pair in which the words are differently related.
Q16. Choose the pair in which the words are differently related.
1. Car : Road
2. Ship : Sea
3. Rocket : Space
4. Aeroplane : Pilot
Ans: (4)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 2 and 3 the first item is a means of transport and the second denotes the medium over which it travels (car on road, ship on sea, rocket in space). In pair 4 the second word (pilot) is a person who operates the aeroplane, not the medium of travel. Thus pair 4 is different.
Q17. Choose the pair in which the words are differently related.
1. Beautician : Parlour
2. Chemist : Medicine
3. Lawyer : Court
4. Engineer : Site
Ans: (2)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 3 and 4 the second word denotes the place of work for the person named first (beautician works in a parlour, lawyer in a court, engineer on a site). In pair 2 the relationship is different: a chemist is associated with medicine as a product or commodity, not primarily a workplace. Therefore pair 2 is the odd one out.
Q18. Choose the pair in which the words are differently related.
1. Saw : Wood
2. Pen : Paper
3. Author : Book
4. Chalk : Blackboard
Ans: (3)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 2 and 4 the first item is a tool or instrument that acts on the second (a saw works on wood, a pen writes on paper, chalk is used on a blackboard). In pair 3 the author is a person who produces a book; this is a creator-product relationship rather than tool-object. Thus pair 3 differs.
Q19. Choose the pair in which the words are differently related.
1. Water : Thirst
2. Talent: Education
3. Food: Hunger
4. Air : Suffocation
Ans: (2)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 3 and 4 a lack of the first causes the second (lack of water causes thirst, lack of food causes hunger, lack of air causes suffocation). In pair 2 lack of talent does not directly cause education; the relationship is different. Therefore pair 2 is the odd pair.
Q20. Choose the pair in which the words are differently related.
1. Apple : Jam
2. Lemon : Citrus
3. Orange : Squash
4. Tomato : Pury
Ans: (2)
Explanation: In pairs 1, 3 and 4 the second word is a preserved or processed form of the first (apple → jam, orange → squash, tomato → puree). In pair 2, however, lemon and citrus are in a category relationship (lemon is a member of the citrus family), not a preserved form. Hence pair 2 is different.
