Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Bangle
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Shape and topology provide reliable classification criteria. Spherical (or near-spherical) objects have roughly equal dimensions in all directions and enclose volume with no edges. A bangle, however, is a ring-shaped band (topologically a torus-like loop) rather than a sphere. This geometric difference yields a clear odd-one-out.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Group by 3D shape class: sphere vs ring. Three items are spherical/near-spherical solids; one is a hollow circular band. The difference is categorical: a sphere has no hole and encloses volume uniformly; a ring has a central aperture and different geometry.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Consider physical handling: balls roll as spheres; bangles slip over wrists due to the hole—distinct behaviors from spheres.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They share the same gross spherical geometry in everyday understanding.
Common Pitfalls:
Do not confuse “American football” (prolate spheroid) with association football; standard reasoning items intend the spherical soccer ball.
Final Answer:
Bangle
