Discussion

Four word-pairs have been given out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the word-pair that is different.

  • A.Rock-Brick
  • B.Rich-Poor
  • C.Stones-Pebbles
  • D.Cement-Sand

Answer: B

Rich-Poor is the odd pair because its two words are opposites. Rock, brick, stones, pebbles, cement and sand are all kinds of construction material, so in each of the other three pairs both words name building or construction materials of that kind. Rich and Poor do not, and they are related by contrast rather than by material.

The question rests on a single relation within the pair, so the pair that breaks the common pattern is Rich-Poor.
