Four of the above items are alike in a certain way and form a group. Which one does not belong to the group?

• B. beetroot
• C. Potatoes

Hint:

Odd-one-out in vegetables often depends on edible plant part — leaf, root, fruit, or stem.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify type of vegetable for each — Gourd, radish, cucumber, and beetroot are vegetables typically eaten for their fruit or root parts.
Step 2: Special property check — Gourd and cucumber are fruit vegetables (develop from flowers), radish and beetroot are root vegetables.
Step 3: Identify spinach category — Spinach is a leafy vegetable grown for its leaves, not for its fruit or root.
Step 4: Grouping logic — All except spinach are either root or fruit vegetables, while spinach is leafy.
Step 5: Eliminate incorrect options — (a) Radish is a root vegetable (fits group). (b) Beetroot is a root vegetable (fits group). (c) Potatoes is not listed among the five in question, so not relevant here. Only (d) Spinach is different.
Step 6: Conclusion — Option (d) Spinach is the odd one out.
