Classification — container/part relations: select the pair that does NOT express an “in/on/part-of” relation.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Ticket : Train

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Three pairs show “in/on/part-of” relations (physical inclusion/attachment). One pair instead expresses a purpose/usage relation (a ticket is for a train), not inclusion/attachment.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Stamp : Letter → affixed on a letter.
  • Ink : Pen → ink is in a pen.
  • Car : Engine → engine is in a car (part-of).
  • Ticket : Train → for traveling by train; not contained in/on the train.


Concept / Approach:
Filter pairs by “physical inclusion/attachment.” The single purpose-only mapping is the odd pair.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) A, C, D show inclusion/part-of.2) B shows purpose.3) Therefore B is the odd one.


Verification / Alternative check:
Ask “Is the right-hand item physically in/on the left?” Only B answers “no.”


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They preserve inclusion/attachment.


Common Pitfalls:
Equating “related to” with “contained in/on.”


Final Answer:
Ticket : Train
