Choose an option

  • B
    AYAPAP
  • C
    AVGAU
  • D
    SRAHDI
  • E
    None of these

Answer

Correct Answer: SRAHDI

Explanation

Introduction / Context:Here the majority category is “fruits” (APPLE, PAPAYA, GUAVA). The single outsider is a “vegetable.” Correct classification depends on recognizing all base words quickly.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • LPAEP → APPLE (fruit)
  • AYAPAP → PAPAYA (fruit)
  • AVGAU → GUAVA (fruit)
  • SRAHDI → RADISH (vegetable)

Concept / Approach:Unscramble; then group by semantic field. The lone non-fruit is the answer.

Step-by-Step Solution:APPLE → fruit.PAPAYA → fruit.GUAVA → fruit.RADISH → vegetable → odd one out.

Verification / Alternative check:Check for letter multiplicities (e.g., PAPAYA has double A and P). The matches are exact.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • LPAEP, AYAPAP, AVGAU → all fruits.
  • None of these → there is exactly one vegetable anagram (SRAHDI).

Common Pitfalls:Assuming GUAVA is misspelled; it is correct (G-U-A-V-A).

Final Answer:SRAHDI
