- Groundnut, also known as peanut, is a nut that is consumed in various forms, including roasted, boiled, or as a paste (peanut butter).

Therefore, option B (Groundnut) is the odd one out.

Kaavya Kumar answered
Understanding the Options
When analyzing the list of words provided, we can categorize them based on their definitions and uses.
Measurement Units
- a) Tonnes
- b) Quintals
- c) Grams
- d) Kilograms
These four options are all units of weight measurement. They are used to quantify mass in various contexts, such as food, goods, and scientific measurements.
Different Category
- e) Kilometres
This option stands out because it is a unit of distance measurement. While the other four options measure weight, a kilometre is used to measure length, making it fundamentally different from the others.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option 'E' (Kilometres) because it does not belong to the same category as the other four options, which are all related to weight. This distinction highlights the importance of understanding the context and category of terms when identifying differences among them.

Jatin Yadav answered
Understanding the Choices
To identify the odd one out from the given options, we analyze each term's geographic context.
  • Island: A landmass surrounded by water, completely detached from the mainland.
  • Coast: The area where land meets the sea, usually characterized by beaches and cliffs.
  • Harbour: A sheltered body of water where ships dock, typically near a coast.
  • Oasis: A fertile area in a desert, usually surrounding a water source.
  • Peninsula: A landform surrounded by water on three sides, connected to the mainland.

Geographic Context
When examining the context of these terms:
  • Island, Coast, Harbour, and Peninsula: All relate to coastal geography and water bodies. They are directly associated with landforms adjacent to or surrounded by water.
  • Oasis: This term refers to a unique geographical feature found in desert regions, signifying a completely different environment, not directly related to coastal or maritime contexts.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'D' - Oasis, as it stands out from the rest due to its association with deserts rather than coastal or marine environments.

    Printer
  • b)

Malavika Rane answered
Understanding the Question
In the given question, we are tasked with identifying the word that is different from the others in a set of five related terms. The words provided are:
- Printer
- Writer
- Publisher
- Reader
- Reporter
Identifying the Commonalities
To determine the odd one out, we must analyze the roles of each word:
- Writer: Creates content (e.g., articles, books).
- Publisher: Distributes and makes written content available.
- Reader: Consumes and engages with written content.
- Reporter: Gathers information and writes news articles.
Analyzing the Odd One Out
Now, let's examine "Printer":
- Printer: This term refers to a device that produces physical copies of written documents but does not engage with the content in a creative or consuming capacity.
Conclusion
In essence, all the other terms (Writer, Publisher, Reader, and Reporter) are involved in the creation, dissemination, or consumption of written material, whereas "Printer" serves merely as a tool in the process. Therefore, the correct answer is:
- Option A: Printer
This distinction highlights how "Printer" is fundamentally different from the other four words, which are all related to the literary and information-sharing process.

  • a)
    Calf
  • b)
    Cub
  • c)
    Piglet
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Raksha Khanna answered
Choose the word which is different from the rest

  • Calf: A young cow or bull.

  • Cub: A young carnivorous mammal, such as a bear or lion.

  • Piglet: A young pig.

  • Duckling: A young duck.

  • Hireling: A person who works purely for material reward
The first four words refer to young animals, while "hireling" refers to a person working for payment. Therefore, the word "hireling" is different from the rest.
