About this MCQ
This Easy Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following does not belong with the others: Tomato, Potato, Carrot, Mango?”
The accepted answer is B. Mango. Mango is the person, body, or term that satisfies “Which of the following does not belong with the others: Tomato, Potato, Carrot, Mango” (option B). Option A (“Carrot”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Mango. Option C (“Potato”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Mango. Remaining alternatives (Tomato) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Mango is identified. Analytical Reasoning questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Analytical Reasoning recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
