Classification – Odd one out (anagram category: vegetables vs household item) Three strings are anagrams of vegetable names; one is an anagram of a household item. Identify the odd one out.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: NIATCRU

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Anagram classification by semantic field is a standard verbal reasoning theme. Spot the three vegetables and the single non-vegetable to answer correctly.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • RARCTO → CARROT (vegetable)
  • BACGEBA → CABBAGE (vegetable)
  • ILBJARN → BRINJAL (eggplant; vegetable)
  • NIATCRU → CURTAIN (household item)


Concept / Approach:
Unscramble each string into a common English word; then group by the “vegetable” semantic category.



Step-by-Step Solution:
RARCTO → CARROT → vegetable.BACGEBA → CABBAGE → vegetable.ILBJARN → BRINJAL → vegetable.NIATCRU → CURTAIN → household item → odd one out.



Verification / Alternative check:
Double-check all letters; each anagram must be a perfect rearrangement without additions/omissions. The category split is clear.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • CARROT, CABBAGE, BRINJAL are vegetables.
  • None of these → only NIATCRU is non-vegetable.


Common Pitfalls:
Mistaking “B R I N J A L” as non-standard; it is a common term for eggplant in many regions.



Final Answer:
NIATCRU
