    Classification involves identifying an element that is different from a group of other elements based on common properties. There are several types of classification: 1. Letter/meaningless word classification identifies differences in letters, words without meaning. 2. Meaningful word classification identifies an odd word based on differences in meaning or attributes like number of letters. 3. Digit classification finds the odd number out of a group based on attributes like being even or odd. 4. General knowledge classification relies on outside knowledge to identify differences, like identifying an Indian state versus capital cities. The examples provided illustrate each type of classification through word, letter and number problems.

    Classification

    letters of English alphabet. So many groups of


    What is classification? letters are given in the question in which one
    group is different from remaining groups and
    You must have in your mind that what does
    hence the different group will be our answer.
    classification mean. In fact, in classification we take, out
    EXAMPLE1. Find the odd word out of the
    an element out of some given elements and the element
    following options
    to be taken out is different from the rest of the elements
    (a) PQT (b) UVY
    in terms of common properties, shapes, sizes, types,
    (c) DEH (d) IJN
    nature, colours, traits etc. In this way the rest of the
    Sol. (a) PQ R S T (b) U V W X Y
    elements form a group and the element that has been
    taken out is not the member of that group as this single 2 letter gap 2 letter gap
    element does not possesses the common quality to be (c) D E F G H (d) I J K L M N
    possessed by rest of the elements. For example, if we
    compare the elements like, lion, cow, tiger, panther, bear 2 letter gap 3 letter gap
    and wolf then we find that this is a group of animals. As it is clear that except option (d) all the other
    How do we classify them? To understand this let us see options have 2 letters gap between 2nd and third letters
    the presentation given below:- and the 1st two letters are in consecutive order. While in
    case of option (d) 1st two letters are in consecutive order
    Lion Cow Tiger Panther Bear Wolf but there is 3 letters gap between 2nd and third letter
    separating it out of the remaining group of the letters.
    Hence option (d) is the correct option.
    Wild Domestic Wild Wild Wild Wild EXAMPLE2. Following are given four options and
    animal animal animal animal animal animal out of them 3 form a group in terms of some
    Here, if we want to separate out one animal then similarity. Find out the option which does not fit into
    definitely that animal will be cow because, cow is the that group.
    only animal in the group which is a domestic animal. (a) LMNO-ONML (b) PQRS-SRQP
    Rest of the animals (Lion, Tiger, Panther, Bear and (c) IJKL-LKJI (d) UVWX-VUXW
    Wolf) are wild animals. Hence rest of the animals (Lion, L M N O O N M L
    Sol. (a) →
    Tiger, Panther, Bear & Wolf) form a group of wild 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1
    P Q R S S R Q P
    animals separating out the domestic animal (Cow). (b) →
    1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1
    Similarly, out of 6 letters A, M, N, S, P & Q, we will I J K L L K J I
    take out A and form a group of 5 letters M, N, S, P & Q (c) →
    1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1
    because out of given six letters only A is a vowel while U V W X V U W X
    (d) →
    rest of the letters form a group of consonants. 1 2 3 4 2 1 4 3
    Types of classification: Above presentation makes it clear that (d) does
    (1) Letter/meaningless word based classification not fit into the groups.
    (2) Meaningful word based classification 2. Meaningful words based classification:- In
    (3) Digit based classification such type of classification we have to take odd
    (4) General knowledge based classification word out of the given group of meaningful
    Now we will discuss types of classifications one by words.
    one:- EXAMPLE3. Which one of the following words is not
