Answer with Explanation for Question
1 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: C
If one scans the five sentences, one can find that
the first, second, fourth and the fifth sentence
are related in one way. They seem to be part of
a problem in ratio and proportion. Sentence C
mentions about the chromosomes and not
about ratios. It is the odd one out.

Question 2 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. The alleged misuse of the drug by dairy farmers on cattle that
produce milk to stimulate more milk production has prompted the
ministry to control distribution channels and prevent wrong use.
B. From September 1, the manufacture of Oxytocin will only be by
the PSU Karnataka Antibiotics and Pharmaceuticals Limited, and
this decision by the Health Ministry has triggered apprehension of
shortages and a stop in the supplies of this drug.
C. Oxytocin — which is considered to be an essential drug in
maternal health care — is made mainly by the private sector.
D. Maneka Gandhi, the Union Minister for Women and Child
Development, has alleged the misuse of the drug for over ten
years by the dairy farming group.
E. Oxytocin is a natural hormone that causes the uterus to contract,
and in its synthetic form, it is used as fodder for horses.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
2 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: E
Sentence D says the dairy farmers misuse the drug.
Sentence A tells us what the misuse is – to yield more
milk from milch cattle. Following the allegation Sentence
B says no private parties will manufacture the drug. B is
also linked with D and A. Since the only private sector is
producing the drug now (according to sentence C),
problems could emerge. We see that the first four are
connected. Statement E talks about the quality of
Oxytocin which is not very important for the passage.
Hence E is the odd one out.

Question 3 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. In an Airbus A380, 800 passengers were flying to the USA,
and the plane had an economy class and a First class.
B. 20% of the passengers were from Pakistan out of which
5% were flying first class.
C. 24% of the 800 passengers were from Bangladesh, and of
the total passengers, 1% was first-class passengers from
Bangladesh.
D. 30% of the total passengers were from Srilanka and out of
this 2.5 % belonged to the first class, and the rest were
Indians, and all of them preferred traveling ‘cattle-class.'
E. When Shashi Tharoor used the words ‘passengers of
cattle-class’ in one of his tweets the whole nation took up
cudgels against him.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
3 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: E
On mere glancing, it is seen that the all the five
sentences have ‘passengers‘in it. Also
statements D and E talk about cattle class. An in-
depth look would tell us that Sentence A, B, C
and D look like word problems on percentages.
Shashi Tharoor (E) is the odd one out.

Question 4 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. Once Thurber's mother, walking past the place with an old lady
from Fostoria, Ohio, said to her, "My son James was born in that
house,"
B. The house, which is still standing, bears no tablet or plaque of any
description and is never pointed out to visitors.
C. Thurber believes that 80% of Deafness can be found in old people;
70% feign deafness to avoid answering delicate questions or to
escape from nosy or hurting statements.
D. James Thurber was born on a night of wild portent and high wind
in the year 1894, at 147 Parsons Avenue, Columbus, Ohio.
E. To which the old lady, who was extremely deaf, replied, "Why, on
the Tuesday morning train, unless my sister is worse."

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
4 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: C

The first option talks about Thurber's mother. In the next sentence, a
‘house' is mentioned. It must be referring to the house where Thurber
was born. Statement C talks about Thurber and deafness. The next
statement D is about Thurber, and the address of his home is given.
Sentence E is about a deaf old lady, and it appears to be the odd one
out. However, it is not.
The passage is talking about Thurber's house. In the sentence, A
Thurber's mother was boasting when she told the lady that ‘Thurber
was born in that house.' Instead of applause that we expect, the lady
says something in tangent because she is deaf and has not heard
Thurber's mother's words. There is humour in the answer. Hence E is
not the odd one. It is, in fact, C because it talks about deafness and not
about the house.

Question 5 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. She was so obsessed with nail hygiene that she had
spare manicure scissors or clippers and a bottle of nail
polish in her car.
B. If it saw a nail in the road, the car would run over it
and pick the pin up.
C. Once, driving into a sweating and hot little town in
Tamilnadu, I said aloud, "I would die to be stuck in
this place."
D. If I parked it in a parking area and went into a store, it
would be in a no-parking zone when I came out.
E. The car promptly managed to develop some engine
problem, and I was stuck there for two days.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
5 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: A
Sentence A and B have the words ‘nail' and ‘car' in common.
Maybe they are related.
We can deduct that in statement D, ‘it’ refers to the car.
Sentences A, B, D, and E have the word ‘car' as standard. We
think maybe C is the odd one.
Scrutiny tells us that C and D are related. The man or the
woman thinks, "I would die to be stuck in this place," and the
smart car develops some problem and he or she is stuck.
Sentence B to Sentence E is related to the car, and it is the
hero of the passage, but A is the odd one because the locus of
the sentence is more on the lady than on the nail or the car.

Question 6 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. "I am not asking you, Lieutenant David," curtly shouted
the Lieutenant, "Switch on the power lights and rev up the
engine and we are going through!”
B. “We are going through!”, said the Flight Lieutenant in a
stern and determined voice that was like a thick sheet of
snow breaking.
C. The twin-seater powerpack had twin-engine, was a
multirole fighter of Russian origin and it carried One X
30mm GSH gun along with 8000 kg external armament.
D. He wore his brownish-green fatigue, with the dashing grey
cap pulled down over one bright eye.
E. “We cannot make it, sir; we are outnumbered in the sky if
you ask me."

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
6 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: C
Sentence A and B must be a part of a paragraph, and they
talk about going through. Sentence C described the
aircraft. Statement D describes the attire of may be an air
force officer. Sentence B mentions a Fight Lieutenant with
a stern voice and possibly D is portraying him. Sentence E
shows the apprehension of a person. A says "I am not
asking you' and it must be the sentence next to E. We see
that statements A, B, D, and E are connected. The third
sentence describes an air force plane which is not
needed.

Question 7 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. In a way he abhorred these once-in-three-days trips to town--he
always forgot something which was very important for his wife
but had no place in his worldview.
B. He knew that he was the greatest batsman in the world and yet,
he did not know why others were not performing.
C. She had told him at least half a dozen times before they started
from their house for Diu that he should not forget things so badly
and that he needed to have more attention to what is being told
to him.
D. When he entered the street again, with the boots in a carton
under his arm, Walter Mitty began asking himself what the other
thing was his wife had asked to buy.
E. Dettol, he thought, Paracetamol, Lay’s chips?, No, hand towel,
face powder, mop, screwdriver, drive-in theatre, and a haircut?
Moreover, he just let go of everything.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
7 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: B
The first sentence talks about forgetting. The next
sentence B is about cricket and batsman. Sentence C also
says something about remembering. Statement D also
has some oblique pointers to ‘forget.'
A, C and D are connected. Either B or E is the odd one.
Sentence B says something about ‘he' and Sentence A
also has such a reference. However, Sentence E has a list
of items and naturally which one among these did he
forget is the complicated question being asked. B is our
answer.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Question 8 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. Miss Fonseca was the English teacher in Don Britto Convent, for
over ten years and she was also my class teacher.
B. She said, “A sentence in which there is a word or phrase,
especially an adverb or adverbial phrase, between to and its
accompanying verb form in an infinitive, as in to readily
understand.”
C. A small schoolboy asked me to give him an example of split-
infinitive, its meaning and its position in English Grammar.
D. d. The vision of Miss Fonseca came immediately in front of me
when my son asked me “what is split infinitive?”.
E. She was telling the class in detail about split-infinitive extempore,
and my friend and I sitting in the last row had ‘Wren, and Martin'
with Miss Fonseca and us were repeating verbatim from the book.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
8 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: A
Sentence C and D seem to be asking the same
question about split-infinitive. D talks about
Miss Fonseca, so also sentence A. Sentence B
refers to her when it begins: ‘She said.' The
English teacher was explaining about split-
infinitive. E also relates to Miss Fonseca. We say
that C, D B, and E are a group and hence A is the
odd one out.

Question 9 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. From the airport I would take a taxi to go to the Central station
because If I had sat in my car and told him the way to Central,
Malik would, I feared, take me to Marina beach.
B. ‘Ye malik their bandhe hum' is a melodious Hindi song from
Shantaram's film "Do Aankhen barah haath."
C. Malik spoke to me in Hindi – which I did not understand- and I
talked to him, sometimes in English and many a times in Tamil,
and he understood neither language.
D. Nirmal Malik called me "Malik" (a Hindi word for master) because
he was my driver, and I called him ‘Malik’ because that was his
name or rather a part of his name.
E. When I gave him instruction, "After the circle takes a right and you
will reach Chennai Central railway station where you can drop me
and go back home," he would invariably turn left before reaching
the circle, and we would land near Chennai Airport."

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
9 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: B
It appears that the word ‘malik’ occurs in Sentences A, B,
C and D and we are tempted to say E is the odd
one. However, a close investigation is needed. Sentence
D is the first sentence, and the name of Malik is
introduced here. Statement C is the next where the
problem of communication is discussed. Sentence E
seems to be the following sentence where the narrator
gives one instruction and the driver understands it
differently. Sentence A shows the plight of the narrator.
Hence D, C, E and A are connected, and B is the odd one.

Question 10 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. Though they listened with patience, they were as adamant as any
couple who got married after loving each other for quite a few
years before getting married.
B. The issues that broke up the Iyers appeared to me, at first, as
small a problem as the smearing of face powder over a colored
shirt which can just be dusted off.
C. Now a year has already passed by, and I doubt very much that
they will ever go back together again.
D. I was a friend of both Gopi and Laila and told both of them to
laugh it off, bury the past and consider the trauma their six-year-
old son would face if a lone parent raises him.
E. Gopi Iyer had worked in Google, Australia for over three years
before he joined Microsoft and Laila was employed in Microsoft
for ten years before she moved to Google.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
10 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: E
The five sentences are about Gopi and Laila
Iyers. Sentence E says something about the Iyers
and, is standing aloof because the other four
sentences have ‘broken marriage’ as the central
theme.

Question 11 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. When it comes to creativity, there is nothing like an
endpoint because every problem that has been solved can
be solved again in a better way.
B. Creative thinkers do not hold on to the notion that once a
problem has been solved, we can let go of the problem or
the same problem cannot be done in a better way.
C. The metamorphosis of a butterfly from the pupae state is
a classic case of creativity.
D. " A creative thinker's philosophy is that "there is always
scope for betterment and significant improvement."
E. An example of creativity is the redesigning of the
conventional wood screw by the ubiquitous drywall
screws.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
11 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: C
Sentences A, B and D represent the same idea
and hence are related. In C the metamorphosis
was a natural process, in E it is created by man.
Thus C is the odd one out.

Question 12 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. Virat Kohli is married to the beautiful matinee idol Anushka
Sharma, and the latter is a source of great inspiration for the
captain
B. Many former India Captains have expressed their displeasure at
the team's abysmal failure in the test and Geoffrey Boycott has
accused Kohli of complacency and arrogance.
C. Even though Kohli would have expected some of the brickbats,
yet, it will not make it any smooth for him to digest the
criticisms.
D. First Innings defeat at Lord's was Kohli's first innings defeat as
captain, and the future looks terrible because the playing
conditions are harsh, his batsmen have lost the rhythm, and there
are three more tests to go.
E. Keeping team morale high cannot be a simple task for Kohli who
does not have the charisma of his predecessor.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
12 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: A
All the statements refer to Kohli. Sentence B talks about
the reactions from former captains and Boycott after
Kohli lost his first test. Sentence C is a continuation of A,
because, a captain can always anticipate criticisms.
Sentence D captures the low side of the team. Statement
E takes us to the immediate future and says Kohli will
have a tough time tomorrow. All the four sentences have
the recent defeat, as the fulcrum while sentence A is a
general statement and it does not adhere well with the
other four.
Surely A is the odd one out.

A. The Argentines who were coached by World Champions Lionel
Scaloni and Pablo Aimar got resurrected and raced ahead of
Russia whose Sergey Diveev had scored the first goal, and

scored in extra-time to seal the title against the Russians.

went on to emerge the victors with a 2-1 triumph over Russian U-
20 in the final.
E. The U-20 had taken part in operations around the British Isles, and
it became famous follower her sinking of the British Ocean Liner.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
13 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: E
Of the five sentences, three talks about U-20.
Fourth sentences talk about U-20 football
matches between India, Argentina, and Russia
whereas the fifth is about a German U boat.
Hence it is the odd one

Submission Set - 2
A. The only exclusion to this amendment are instances of traps in which
such public servants are caught red-handed while taking a bribe.
B. Section 6A of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act has been
amended, burying the need of prior consent for starting an investigation
of corruption cases not only against Joint Secretaries and above but all
categories of public servants.
C. Two aspects of the amendment come to the fore: One requiring prior
approval for starting an investigation into allegations of corruption again
civil servants and the other requiring previous sanction for prosecuting
public servants.
D. The amendment, according to the opposition parties, would weaken the
landmark transparency law.
E. Certain amendments to laws on corruption have been passed in the
monsoon session, and some of them could have far-reaching
consequences.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
14 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer : D
All the statements talk about amendments.
First sentence (A) refers to public servants and so is
the case with sentence B. Statement C also
discussed amendment concerning civil servants.
Hence A B and C are interlinked.
Either D or E is the odd one. In D the amendment
pertains to transparency law while sentence E is
tutoring about corruption law. However, A, B, and C
refer to the corruption law. Hence D is the odd one.

Question 15 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. Goal setting is merely an organized personal planning process.
B. It is a reliable method for identifying what you want to achieve -
whether in the long- or short-term, and whether in your personal
life or your professional career.
C. The goal scored by Messi in the twelfth minute was a masterpiece
when he executed his favorite maneuvers near the goal post to
score a winner.
D. To set goals one need not be a Cricketer, professional Boxer or the
MD of a Fortune 500 company but rather be an individual who
desires success – be it in your career, within your family, or
perhaps with your finances.
E. Moreover, the process of setting goals gives you the laser-sharp
focus you need to achieve real and lasting success.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
15 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: C
The entire five sentences have one subject in
common: GOAL. Sentences A, B, D and E talk
about goal setting, Statement C is about a
football goal. An immediate eliminator and
hence the correct option. It is the odd one

Question 16 on Odd One Out

A. There was only three days left for the start of the competition and
yet, the captain and coach of the men's team, Zeeshan Ali, had no
hint where Paes was or when he will arrive.
B. He was twice a semifinalist at Wimbledon in 1960 and 1961
reaching a peak career ranking of world no. 6 in his heydays.
C. The captain meekly told the reporters that "I have no intimation

Paes is coming for the tourney."
D. When the Indian tennis bunch arrived in Palembang on Thursday
for the Asian Games Leander Paes, the giant among the players
was not present in the group.
E. Even if he arrives, there is this uncertainty over whom the
champion will have a partner in the doubles since Rohan Bopanna
and Divij Sharan expected to play together, and there is no
remaining player.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
16 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: B
The statements are about Paes. In statement A
there was no hint where Paes was. Sentence C
confirms what is just mentioned in sentence A. D
also reiterates the same point. Sentence E says the
mystery was not only in his coming. If he comes
with whom will, he partner was the question to
answer says E. Hence B should be the odd one out.
On close inspection, we see that the attributes
mentioned do not fit Paes. (He should be at least 90
now). B is the odd one.

Question 17 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. We, as Indians, found calmness and clarity in his leadership and we
welcomed him to India without much hesitation despite China not liking
the gesture a wee bit.
B. We offered to help the government by sending our IPKF (Indian Peace
Keeping Force) to ensure peace in the beautiful nation.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah the Prime Ministership, to avoid partition, which
Nehru objected to because of his craving for the Prime Minister’s chair.
D. As usually happens he, corrected himself and the Dalai Lama withdrew
his statement, saying that he had hurt the feelings of many Indians
E. The Dalai Lama feels so much indebted to India that his thanking India,
as a great civilization and the Indian governments as proactive, has
become a sort of ritual.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
17 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: B
The sentences have reference to the Dalai Lama. In
Sentence, A India welcomed him because he was
calm and clear. Statement D refers to the Dalai
Lama withdrawing his statement. Moreover, the
report that he removed was Sentence C. Sentence E
shares the Lama's indebtedness. Sentence B seems
to be the odd one because there was no question
of India sending its force to Tibet. (the Chinese
would have crushed India). Hence B is the odd one.

Question 18 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. After the receipt of the Group of Ministers' report, the Kargil Review
Committee report and the Naresh Chandra Committee report, as first
step efforts were made to restructure higher defense organization.
B. It was felt that there should be more cohesion among the bureaucracy,
military, R & D, Intelligence, and other arms of the defense services
C. Usually, reports submitted to different governments run to thousands of
pages by committees, and it is unlikely that even one person goes
through the full story once.
D. A summarization of what is happening in the defence services focuses
mainly on the confused state of affairs, and it does not forecast well for a
high military power like India.
E. Despite the reports, there was inaction in converting into structural
changes within the Defence Ministry, which necessitated shifting the
focus to reform in the operational paradigm.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
18 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: C
All the statements are about reports or, the result
the stories have produced. Sentence A talks about
three different reports about defence. Statement B
is about cohesion in the armed forces and hence is
linked to the first sentence. Sentence C tells us the
inside story about reports. Sentence D and E
pertain to the reports. There is a connection
between sentences A, B, D, and E because they
commonality is the defence establishment. C is
misplaced, and hence it is the odd one.

Question 19 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. She considers this usual ritual in her domestic life as a
form of federal taxation.
B. This realization grew because of Mrs. Robertson's habit of
buying two-wheelers on the monthly installment plan.
C. She invariably fails to keep up her payments longer than
one or two months, with the result that the things are
taken back by the Hire Purchase Company.
D. Many of the Hire Purchase Company will fool you by
asserting that it charges 0% interest for all two and three
wheelers.
E. "The government only desires you to keep your two-
wheeler for three months."

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
19 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: D
Sentence A talks about some ritual. What is the
routine? Sentence B and C tell us that she buys two-
wheeler on a monthly installment plan and when it
comes to paying the monthly dues, she would stop
paying after one or two months, and the Hiring
company would take away the two-wheeler.
Sentence E is in continuation of A where the blame
is put on the government. Hence D is the odd one
out.

Question 20 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. The garage mechanic gazed at me with the funny look
service station technician reserve for me which is a
mixture of disbelief, perplexity, and pain.
B. Trying to drive a car in neutral is like trying to switch
on the fan when there is no current.
C. I put the car in the first gear, he gave me a short pull,
and she started.
D. The mechanic said in a melancholy tone, ”your
refrigerator compressor has gone kaput."
E. I paid him and, as I drove away, I saw him in the rear-
view mirror, standing motionless in the road still
gaping after me with that gaze.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
20 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: D
Sentence A and C discuss ‘mechanic.' Statement A is
about a garage mechanic. Statement B and C are about
cars, neutral and first gear. Maybe B and C are related,
and A has also a link to the two. E is about driving away
and ‘him' gaping. This gaping is similar to disbelief,
perplexity and pain in Sentence A. Hence We can see a
connection among sentences A, B, C and E. On sharper
observation we see that in statement D the mechanic
says something about refrigerator compressor. Hence D is
the odd one.

Question 21 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. Some of the awards received by Viswanathan are the Rajiv Gandhi Khel
Ratna, Chess Oscar, Padma Vibhushan, Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan,
Arjuna Aware for Chess and the CNN-IBN Indian of the year.
B. Recommendations to curb unlawful practices in the share markets and
ascertain appropriate behavior among investors have been made to the
government by a panel headed by TK Viswanathan, a former Secretary
General of Lok Sabha.
C. Front-running, insider trading, corrupt accounting practices that are
equivalent to masking firms’ performance, and other flimflams to
manipulate share prices continue.
D. An important direction is that the stock market watchdog is given the
power to act directly against “perpetrators of financial statements
malpractices."
E. The crux of the recommendation means SEBI can act not only against
listed companies under its extensive powers but also against those who
aid or support financial fraud — including accountants and auditors.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
21 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: A
Sentence B talks about Viswanathan heading a
panel and sentence A is about Viswanathan. In
statement C, some of the unlawful practices are
listed, and hence it is connected to Sentence B. D
and E gives inputs about the recommendation of
the Viswanathan panel. Everything seems to fit.
However, after proper application of the mind, we
see that, and hence the sentence is the odd one
out.

Question 22 on Odd One Out
Submission Set - 2
A. The car mechanic looked at the gauge and said the thermostat
was clogged--or something to that effect.
B. I was standing by the side of the car, gawking at the dashboard
and its, to me, elaborate dials, when I noticed to my shock that
one of them was showing 1560.
C. I pointed my trembling finger at it and told the mechanic, "That
dial should not be displaying as high as that reading, should it?".
D. He gave me a queer look and said: "That is your radio dial, Mac,"
E. We should have the means of reading a person's attitude, inner
feelings, quality of introversion, his prowess in situational
judgment, etc. through elaborate dials and gauges.

www.HandaKaFunda.com
Answer with Explanation for Question
22 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: E
All the five talk about gauges and dials. On
closer inspection, we see that the first four
sentences talk about the dial and the gauge in a
car; the fifth sentence talks about the need for a
dial/gauge to measure human qualities. Hence E
is the odd one.

Writer's Services are performed.
B. In performing the Job, the Writer agrees to provide his/her

the sentences speak about a generic issue, it is

Answer with Explanation for Question
25 on Odd One Out Submission
Answer: C
All the statements in the passage about health and health
care for the masses. Hence we need to view each sentence
carefully. Sentence A talks about right to health and the
government policy. Statement B by the PM is about Health
Protection. A and B are connected. Sentence C goes on to talk
about a film, Modi and health Insurance. Possibly C is related,
but we have to ascertain. The next sentence D is also about
Health coverage and the last also cites health care. However,
except C others talks about the need for health care and the
government's commitment to health. Though C discussions
about health insurance, it is just a film and it does not gel with
the other sentences.
