Find the odd commemorative date (India): Select the date that is not a national holiday across India, unlike the others listed.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: 14th November

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Calendar-classification items often use national holidays vs observances. In India, certain dates are official nationwide holidays; others are commemorations without universal holiday status.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • 15th August: Independence Day (national holiday).
  • 26th January: Republic Day (national holiday).
  • 2nd October: Gandhi Jayanti (national holiday).
  • 14th November: Children’s Day (observed; not universally a nationwide public holiday).


Concept / Approach:
Identify which dates are legally recognized as national holidays vs cultural/educational observances.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Mark 15 Aug, 26 Jan, 2 Oct as national public holidays in India.2) Recognize 14 Nov as Children’s Day—widely observed but typically not a nationwide public holiday.3) Therefore, “14th November” is the odd one.


Verification / Alternative check:
Cross-check common school calendars: 14 Nov often has events but not mandatory closure nationwide, unlike the other three dates.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are official national holidays.


Common Pitfalls:
Equating widespread observance with legal holiday status.


Final Answer:
14th November
