Question

Which word does not belong to the category?

1. A. Hibiscus
2. B. Tulip
3. C. Apple (Correct answer)
4. D. Daisy

Correct Answer

Option C — Apple

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Apple.

Key Points

• Hibiscus, Tulip and Daisy are all flowers.
• Apple is a fruit, so it belongs to a different category.
• The rule is decided by the majority: three items share a class, and the fourth breaks it.

Additional Information

• Classification questions may group by category (flower/fruit), by function, by origin, or by a hidden property such as being an anagram or a perfect square — check category first, since it is by far the commonest.
• A useful check once you have an answer: confirm that the remaining three share something the odd one genuinely lacks. Here all three are flowers and the apple is not, so the grouping is sound.
• Watch for double-membership traps, where an item could belong to two groups; the intended grouping is always the one covering exactly three of the four options.
