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
