Classification – Odd one out (human/animal power vs motor vehicle): Which is unlike the others: Rickshaw, Taxi, Tanga, Cart?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Taxi

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Transport modes can be grouped by propulsion. Three are human/animal-powered vehicles; one is a motorized automobile used for hire.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Rickshaw → human-powered (or cycle) vehicle.
  • Tanga → horse-drawn carriage.
  • Cart → animal- or human-drawn goods vehicle.
  • Taxi → motor car for hire.


Concept / Approach:
Separate non-motorized vs motorized. The only motor vehicle is the outlier.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Rickshaw/Tanga/Cart → human/animal traction.Taxi → engine-powered automobile.



Verification / Alternative check:
Auto-rickshaw exists but is distinct from “rickshaw.” The basic term here implies non-motorized variant compared to a taxi.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Rickshaw, Tanga, Cart rely on human/animal power.


Common Pitfalls:
Assuming “rickshaw” is always motorized; context distinguishes it from “auto-rickshaw.”



Final Answer:
Taxi
