Classification — product vs material: identify the single pair that is in the reverse direction compared to the others.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Iron : Axe

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Three pairs name a product followed by a typical material it is made from (product → material). One pair flips the direction and lists the material first and the product second.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Shoe : Leather → product → material.
  • Table : Wood → product → material.
  • Jewellery : Gold → product → material.
  • Iron : Axe → material → product (reversed).


Concept / Approach:
Normalize direction to “product → material,” then spot the inverted mapping.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) A, C, D follow product → material.2) B presents the inverse relation.3) Hence B is the odd one out.


Verification / Alternative check:
Rewriting B as “Axe : Iron” would align it to the majority pattern.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They consistently express the same direction of relation.


Common Pitfalls:
Overthinking “possible materials”; direction, not exclusivity, is the test cue.


Final Answer:
Iron : Axe
