About this MCQ
This Medium Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following does not belong with the others: Carrot, Apple, Banana, Mango?”
The accepted answer is C. Carrot. Carrot is the person, body, or term that satisfies “Which of the following does not belong with the others: Carrot, Apple, Banana, Mango” (option C). Option A (“Mango”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Carrot. Option B (“Apple”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Carrot. Remaining alternatives (Banana) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Carrot is identified.
