Classification — scriptures/epics: identify the one title that does NOT belong with the others in religious tradition.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Quran

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Religious-literature classification often groups texts by tradition. Three listed works are central to Hindu tradition (two are epics; one is a sacred philosophical discourse within an epic). One text is Islamic scripture.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Ramayana → Hindu epic.
  • Mahabharata → Hindu epic (contains the Bhagavad Gita).
  • Bhagavad Gita → sacred discourse within the Mahabharata; Hindu scripture.
  • Quran → central religious text of Islam.


Concept / Approach:
Group by religious tradition.



Step-by-Step Solution:
1) A, C, D → Hindu corpus.2) B → Islamic scripture.3) Therefore “Quran” is the odd one out by tradition.



Verification / Alternative check:
Cross-reference the origin of each text—their languages, canons, and cultural contexts differ sharply between B and the others.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They belong to the same tradition and hence form the majority group.



Common Pitfalls:
Noting that the Gita is part of Mahabharata; despite internal relation, both remain within the Hindu set, keeping B as the unique outlier.



Final Answer:
Quran
