1
Identify the letter group that fails to meet the criteria where the first two letters are consecutive, the last two letters are consecutive (possibly cyclically), and the third letter's position from Z mirrors the first letter's position from A.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Understand the three conditions that define the common pattern for 'other groups': Condition 1: The first and second letters are consecutive in the alphabet (e.g., A, B). Condition 2: The third and fourth letters are consecutive in the alphabet (allowing for a cyclical wrap-around from Z to A, e.g., Y, Z or Z, A). Condition 3: The alphabetical position of the first letter from A (A=1) is the same as the alphabetical position of the third letter from Z (Z=1). Step 2: Evaluate each option against these conditions. Step 3: For BCYZ (B=2, C=3, Y=25, Z=26): - Condition 1: B, C are consecutive (B+1=C). -> True. - Condition 2: Y, Z are consecutive (Y+1=Z). -> True. - Condition 3: B is the 2nd letter from A. Y is the 2nd letter from Z. -> True. This group fits the pattern. Step 4: For EFVW (E=5, F=6, V=22, W=23): - Condition 1: E, F are consecutive (E+1=F). -> True. - Condition 2: V, W are consecutive (V+1=W). -> True. - Condition 3: E is the 5th letter from A. V is the 5th letter from Z. -> True. This group fits the pattern. Step 5: For HIUV (H=8, I=9, U=21, V=22): - Condition 1: H, I are consecutive (H+1=I). -> True. - Condition 2: U, V are consecutive (U+1=V). -> True. - Condition 3: H is the 8th letter from A. U is the 6th letter from Z (U = Z - 5). -> False (8th != 6th). This group fails Condition 3. Step 6: For JKQR (J=10, K=11, Q=17, R=18): - Condition 1: J, K are consecutive (J+1=K). -> True. - Condition 2: Q, R are consecutive (Q+1=R). -> True. - Condition 3: J is the 10th letter from A. Q is the 10th letter from Z. -> True. This group fits the pattern. Step 7: For ABZA (A=1, B=2, Z=26, A=1): - Condition 1: A, B are consecutive (A+1=B). -> True. - Condition 2: Z, A are consecutive (Z followed by A cyclically). -> True. - Condition 3: A is the 1st letter from A. Z is the 1st letter from Z. -> True. This group fits the pattern (with cyclic interpretation). Step 8: All groups except HIUV adhere to the specified pattern. Step 9: Therefore, HIUV is the odd one out.

Choose the item that is not similar to the others.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Observe the items: 'Almirah', 'Rack', 'Safe', 'Cupboard'. Step 2: Note that an 'Almirah', 'Safe', and 'Cupboard' are all types of storage units that typically have doors or closures, allowing them to be fully closed or locked. Step 3: A 'Rack' is an open storage unit, usually consisting of shelves or hooks, designed for holding items without enclosing them. Step 4: Thus, 'Rack' is the word that is different from the rest.
3
Identify the term that is distinct from the others in the context of scientific inquiry.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the terms: Hypothesis, Assumption, Observation, Experiment. Step 2: Identify Hypothesis, Assumption, and Observation as conceptual elements or stages involved in formulating an inquiry or collecting initial data. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation, an assumption is something taken for granted, and observation is data gathering. Step 3: Recognize 'Experiment' as the actual methodical procedure or process designed to test a hypothesis or demonstrate a known fact. Step 4: Determine that 'Experiment' is the different word as it represents the active methodological process, whereas the others are conceptual components or initial steps.
4
Choose the instrument from the list that does not primarily rely on optics.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Examine the instruments: Microscope, Telescope, Periscope, Stethoscope. Step 2: Identify Microscope, Telescope, and Periscope as optical instruments designed to manipulate light for viewing distant, close, or obscured objects. Step 3: Recognize 'Stethoscope' as an acoustic medical instrument used to listen to the internal sounds of a body. Step 4: Conclude that 'Stethoscope' is the word different from the rest because it is not an optical instrument.
5
Select the word pair whose relationship differs from the relationship found in the other pairs.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship in 'Water : Thirst'. The lack of water causes thirst. Step 2: Analyze the relationship in 'Food : Hunger'. The lack of food causes hunger. Step 3: Analyze the relationship in 'Air : Suffocation'. The lack of air causes suffocation. Step 4: Observe that the first three pairs follow a consistent 'lack of the first causes the second' pattern. Step 5: Analyze the relationship in 'Talent : Education'. Education enhances talent, but the lack of talent does not cause education. This relationship is different. Step 6: Conclude that 'Talent : Education' is the pair with the unique relationship.
6
Which of these terms is different from the others: 'Decantation', 'Filtration', 'Centrifugation', 'Sublimation', 'Condensation'?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Consider the listed scientific terms: 'Decantation', 'Filtration', 'Centrifugation', 'Sublimation', 'Condensation'. Step 2: Understand the primary purpose of each process. Decantation, Filtration, Centrifugation, and Sublimation are all methods used to separate components of mixtures. Step 3: 'Condensation' is a phase transition, specifically the process of a gas changing into a liquid, and is not primarily a method for separating mixture components in the same sense. Step 4: Conclude that 'Condensation' is the distinct term because it describes a phase change rather than a mixture separation technique.
7
Find the animal name that does not fit with the others in the list.
0:00

0:00
Solution: Step 1: Assign numerical positions to each letter (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26). Step 2: Analyze the pattern for each group, checking if the steps between consecutive letters are +1, +2, +3. - For 'ABDG': A(1) -> B(2) (+1). B(2) -> D(4) (+2). D(4) -> G(7) (+3). Matches. - For 'IJLO': I(9) -> J(10) (+1). J(10) -> L(12) (+2). L(12) -> O(15) (+3). Matches. - For 'MNPS': M(13) -> N(14) (+1). N(14) -> P(16) (+2). P(16) -> S(19) (+3). Matches. - For 'RSUY': R(18) -> S(19) (+1). S(19) -> U(21) (+2). U(21) -> Y(25) (+4). The third step is +4, not +3. Does NOT match. - For 'PQSV': P(16) -> Q(17) (+1). Q(17) -> S(19) (+2). S(19) -> V(22) (+3). Matches. Step 3: All groups except 'RSUY' follow the progressive step-forward pattern of +1, +2, +3. Step 4: Therefore, 'RSUY' is the odd one out.
9
Identify the word that is distinct from the others in the given group.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Examine the provided words: 'Goat', 'Puppy', 'Cow', 'Buffalo'. Step 2: Observe that 'Goat', 'Cow', and 'Buffalo' are all names of adult animals. Step 3: 'Puppy' is the specific term for a young dog, indicating a stage of life rather than an adult animal. Step 4: Conclude that 'Puppy' is the distinct word.

16
Which component is indispensable for a camera to function?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Consider the primary function of a camera: to capture an image by focusing light onto a light-sensitive medium (film or sensor). Step 2: Evaluate the options: - 'Reels': Used in film cameras, but digital cameras do not have them; thus, not 'always'. - 'Flash': An accessory for low-light conditions, not essential for basic image capture. - 'Stand': A support accessory, not a built-in part of the camera. - 'Lens': The lens is crucial for gathering light and focusing it precisely to form a clear image. Without a lens (or a pinhole equivalent), a functional camera cannot capture an image. Step 3: Conclude that a 'Lens' is always present in a camera.
