Verbal Classification (Class-10)

Verbal Classification
'Classification' means 'to assort the items of a given group on the basis of a certain common quality they possess and
then spot the stranger or 'odd one out'.
In this test, you are given a group of certain items, out of which all except one are similar to one another in some manner.
The candidate is required to choose this one item which does not fit into the given group.
CHOOSING THE ODD WORD
Solved Examples
Directions : Choose the word which is least like the other words in the group.
Ex.1 (1) January (2) May (3) July (4) November
Sol. Here, all except November are months having 31 days, while November has 30 days. Hence, the answer is (4).
Ex.2 (1) Bake (2) Peel (3) Fry (4) Boil
Sol. Here, all except Peel are different forms of cooking. Hence, the answer is (2).
Ex.3 (1) Pistol (2) Sword (3) Gun (4) Rifle
Sol. Here, all except Sword are fire arms, and can be used from a distance. Hence, the answer is (2).
CHOOSING THE ODD PAIR OF WORDS
Solved Examples
Directions : Choose the odd pair of words.
Ex.4 (1) Painter : Gallery (2) Actor : Stage (3) Mason : Wall (4) Farmer : Field
Sol. In all other pairs, except (3) second is the working place of the first. Hence, the answer is (3).
Ex.5 (1) Volume : Litre (2) Pressure : Barometer (3) Length : Metre (4) Resistance : Ohm
Sol. In all other pairs, except (2) second is the unit to measure the first. On the other hand, barometer is an instrument. Hence,
the answer is (2).
CHOOSING THE ODD NUMERAL
In this type of questions, certain numbers are given, out of which all except one share some common property and hence
are alike, while one is different and this number is to be chosen as the answer.
Solved Examples
Directions: Choose the number which is different from others in the group.
Ex.6 (1) 13 (2) 17 (3) 23 (4) 63
Sol. Each of the numbers except 63, is a prime number. Hence, the answer is (4).
Ex.7 (1) 25 (2) 36 (3) 78 (4) 144

Sol. Each of the numbers except 78, is a perfect square. Hence, the answer is (3).

Verbal Classification (Class-10)

CHOOSING THE ODD NUMERAL PAIR / GROUP

Solved Examples

Directions: Choose the number pair/group which is different from others.

Ex.8 (1) 14, 12 (2) 24, 7 (3) 37, 4 (4) 42, 4

Sol. In each of the pairs except (3), the product of the numbers is 168. Hence, the answer is (3).

Ex.9 (1) 71,7, 3, 17 (2) 67, 71, 3, 5 (3) 41,5,3,47 (4) 37, 14, 19, 7

Sol. All other groups except (4) consist of prime numbers only, while (4) consists of one composite number i.e. 14. Hence, the
answer is (4).

Ex.10 (1) 1 (5) 2 (2) 7 (113) 8 (3) 2 (20) 4 (4) 3 (17) 4

Sol. In each of the alternatives except (4), the number inside the bracket is the sum of the squares of the numbers outside it.
Hence, the answer is (4).

CHOOSING THE ODD LETTER GROUP

Solved Examples

Directions: Choose the group of letters which is different from others.

Ex.11 (1) BCD (2) KMN (3) QRS (4) GHI

Sol. All other groups consist of three consecutive letters while option (3) doesn't. Hence, the answer is (2).

Ex.12 (1) CZHK (2) MLAG (3) XUBU (4) SENO

Sol. XUBU is the only group in which one letter has been repeated. Hence, the answer is (3).

Ex.13 (1) AUgPZ (2) MXiDV (3) KFeCO (4) YGLhT

Sol. In all other groups, except (4) the smaller letter is the middle one. Hence, the answer is (4).

Common questions

The concept of "odd one out" enhances critical thinking by requiring individuals to analyze and compare the characteristics of each item in a group, determine commonalities, and evaluate the distinct feature of the odd item. This fosters close attention to detail and logical reasoning .

The pair "Mason : Wall" is odd because while walls are what masons build, it does not reflect a typical workplace location like a stage for actors or a gallery for painters, which are direct workplace settings for the respective occupations .

Finding composite numbers in a group of primes is significant for understanding number theory as it requires recognizing properties that distinguish primes—such as having exactly two distinct positive divisors—from composites, which have more. This challenges individuals to apply their knowledge of factors and divisibility rules .

The principle used in verbal classification exercises is to identify one item that is least like the others in a group based on a shared common quality possessed by the remaining items .

"November" is considered the odd month because, unlike January, May, and July, which have 31 days, November has only 30 days. This difference in the number of days makes it unique in its group .

"XUBU" is identified as the odd group because it contains a repeated letter, unlike the other groups that consist of unique letters. Recognizing such patterns requires attention to sequence and repetition within letter groups .

Yes, identifying the odd numeral enhances mathematical reasoning skills as it involves recognizing patterns, properties such as prime or composite status, and mathematical operations. Analyzing these aspects fosters critical thinking and a deeper understanding of numerical properties .

"Peel" is considered the odd word because it does not represent a method of cooking like the others (Bake, Fry, Boil). It involves removing the skin from food, distinguishing it from processes that alter food through heat application .

Numerical pairs are identified as odd when most pairs share a similar mathematical relationship or property, and one deviates from this pattern. For instance, in one example, all pairs produce a product of 168 except one. Identifying such patterns requires understanding arithmetic relationships .

Requiring the sum of squares to identify odd numeral sets enhances algebraic understanding as it involves recognizing how numbers relate through quadratic properties. This understanding of how integers interrelate mathematically supports deeper insights into algebraic expressions and equations .
