CUET PG | Reasoning | 2021Choose the word which is least like the other words in the group
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
Pistol
- B.
Sword
(Correct Answer) - C.
Gun
- D.
Rifle
Sword
Explanation
Example Group: Dagger, Knife, Sword, Shield
1. Logical Analysis:
-
Dagger: A weapon used for attacking/offending.
-
Knife: A weapon/tool used for cutting or attacking.
-
Sword: A weapon used for attacking/offending.
-
Shield: A piece of armor used for defending/protection.
2. Mathematical Set Representation:
Let O be the set of Offensive Weapons:
O={Dagger, Knife, Sword}
Since a Shield is used for defense and not for striking:
Shield∈/O
If the group is: Sword, Blade, Dagger, Scabbard
In this case, Scabbard (the cover for the sword) is the odd one out because the others are all types of blades or weapons.
Weapons={Sword, Blade, Dagger}
Scabbard∈Accessories
Final Answer:
The word Shield (or Scabbard) is usually the correct answer when Sword is in the list, depending on the other options.
