Q143
ReasoningAnalogy, Classification & Odd One Out
Select the shape which is different from the rest:
- a.Square
- b.Circle
- c.Triangle
- d.Rectangle
Answer: (B) Circle
Square, triangle and rectangle are polygons, closed figures made of straight sides meeting at vertices, whereas a circle is a curved figure with no sides or corners, so the circle is the odd one out. A second pattern might be tried (the triangle has three sides while the square and rectangle have four), but it does not separate one figure from the other three, because the circle fits neither group. Always choose the property that isolates exactly one option.
