Classification odd one out skills – UGC NET Question

Statement D is the only wrong statement here. A is correct because typical classification sets have three similar items and one different item. B is true since the task is to find the item that does not fit the pattern. C is correct; number properties like odd/even or prime/composite are common grouping criteria. E is also true because when multiple properties are present, the dominant common property helps determine the odd one out. D is false since familiarity to the candidate has nothing to do with correctness; the odd item is defined by the underlying property.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect as it groups B with D as wrong, even though B correctly states the central objective of classification questions.

Option B:
Option B is wrong because it treats A as wrong, but A accurately describes the common “three similar, one different” structure.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since it labels C as wrong even though number-based classification commonly uses parity/divisibility/primality, and it still includes D; the wrong set is not “C and D”.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it singles out D (familiarity-based) as the only incorrect statement while accepting the other accurate descriptions of classification reasoning.
