Find the odd one out.

The logic here is geometric. Ring, Bangle and Tyre are all annular, meaning each is a hollow circular band with a central opening. A ring is a hollow circle of metal or stone, a bangle is a hollow circular band worn on the wrist, and a tyre is a hollow toroidal band fitted around a wheel rim. Plate is a solid, flat disc with no hole in the middle, so it breaks the pattern.

• A) Ring: hollow circular band, fits the pattern.
• B) Bangle: hollow circular band, fits the pattern.
• C) Tyre: hollow circular rubber band around a rim, fits the pattern despite being non-jewellery, so material or usage is not the right test.
• D) Plate: solid disc with no central opening. This is the odd one out.

The concept is classification by shape, a core skill in verbal and non-verbal reasoning. Mains connection: the same habit of sorting by a defining property helps in data interpretation and in structuring answers on categorisation questions.

Trap: aspirants pick Tyre by thinking about material or use, since it is not an ornament. Always test the shape or structure first.
