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
