Non Verbal Classification - Identify Odd Element

Classification

In Classification, we deal with problems of 'Odd-Man-Out' type. In such problems, we are given a set of figures, such that all, except one have similar characteristics/features. We are required to select the figure which differs from all other figures in the given set. Several other types of problems based upon classification are also discussed in details in this chapter.

Choosing the Odd Element

In such type of problems, we are given a set of five/four figures, out of which all except one are alike in some manner. We have to select the exclusively different figure in the given set. Following examples will make understanding easier.

Illustration: In the given problem, out of the four figures given, three are similar in a certain manner. However, one figure is not like the other four. Choose the figure which is different from the rest.

Answer : D

Solution: On analysing the figures given we see that there are two dots in each figure. In the first three figures the two dots are on the either side of the diagonal but in the fourth figure the two dots lie on the same side of the diagonal. This is the odd figure which has been given in option D.

Hence the correct option is D.

Illustration : In the problem, out of the four figures given, three are similar in a certain manner. However, one figure is not like the other four. Choose the figure which is different from the rest.

Answer : B

Solution : On analysing the figures given we see that the first, third and fourth figure consists of the alphabets which are the mirror images of original letters but the second is an inverted image of the original letter. So the second figure is the odd figure. It is given in option B. Hence each one of the figures except second figure, is obtained by the lateral inversion of an English alphabet.

Hence the correct option is B.
