Car, bike, and bus are commonly encountered in travel and commuting. Which statement best classifies this trio?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: They are mode of transport

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Everyday GK analogies often ask you to spot the most accurate shared category among familiar objects. Car, bike (motorcycle or bicycle), and bus are vehicles used to move people or goods from one location to another. The most informative and universally correct label for the trio is “modes of transport”.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • All three serve transportation functions.
  • They may vary in power source, capacity, and legal classification.
  • We prefer the category that is true for all cases and maximally descriptive.


Concept / Approach:
Choose the category that captures the purpose, not incidental features. While many such vehicles have wheels, “modes of transport” communicates what they are used for, aligning with the intent of classification analogies centered on function.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Recognize each item as a vehicle enabling travel. 2) Compare possible classes; prefer purpose over parts. 3) Select “mode of transport”.


Verification / Alternative check:
Some vehicles (e.g., tracked vehicles) lack wheels, so “have wheels” is not a universally reliable transport classifier; however, every car, bike, and bus is a transport mode.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Accelerator: A component, not a vehicle.
  • Have wheels / run by a person: Not definitive or precise categories.
  • Household appliances: Incorrect domain.


Common Pitfalls:
Choosing a superficial similarity (wheels) over the essential functional category (transport).


Final Answer:
They are mode of transport
