Student has to identify the relationship and choose the correct answer from the given four options followed by the question.

EXAMPLE

1.  Which number completes the second pair in the same way as the first pair?

120 : 12 :: ? : 4

(a) 40

(b) 30

(c) 20

(d) 10

Classification

We classify various items into a group on the basis of their common properties.

These items may be numbers, letters, figures, things, places etc.

In such type of problems, some items are given.

All these items except one are similar in some manner.

A student is required to identify the odd one out.

Let us illustrate problems with the help of examples.

3.  Find the odd one out.

(a) 27

(b) 42

(c) 39

(d) 33

Explanation (b):

Except 42, all other are odd natural numbers.

So, the correct option is (b).

(a)

(b)

(c) 

(d)  

Explanation (d):
