Classification – Odd one out (annular/circular objects vs flatware): Select the outlier: Ring, Tyre, Plate, Bangle.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Plate

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Shape-based classification isolates annular (doughnut-like) objects. Three items are typically circular with a central hole; one is generally a solid, flat dish without a through-hole.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Ring → circular band with a hole.
  • Tyre → circular torus-like form with central hub hole.
  • Bangle → circular band worn on wrist with an inner opening.
  • Plate → flat dish; typically no central hole.


Concept / Approach:
Group by annular geometry. The non-annular item is the outlier.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Ring, Tyre, Bangle → annular objects.Plate → flat, non-annular object.



Verification / Alternative check:
Specialty plates (e.g., donut plates) are exceptions; the default household plate lacks a hole, preserving the classification.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Ring, Tyre, Bangle share annular shape and wear/functional similarities.


Common Pitfalls:
Equating “circular” with “annular.” An annulus specifically has a central hole.



Final Answer:
Plate
