Q57
ReasoningAnalogy, Classification & Odd One Out
Select the word which is different from the rest:
  1. a.Car
  2. b.Bicycle
  3. c.Bus
  4. d.Train

Answer: (B) Bicycle

Car, bus and train are driven by engines or motors, while a bicycle is moved by human muscle power, so the bicycle is the odd one out, as in PSC's key. A second possible grouping exists (car, bus and bicycle run on roads, the train on rails), which is why such questions should be answered by the most basic difference: here, the source of power. Bicycle is also the only two-wheeler and the only vehicle in the list that needs no fuel or electricity.
