Among the options, three have the same properties. Find the word not matching with the others.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Salary
Option (1) Shares — money invested in a company in return for part ownership and a share of its profits.
Option (2) Salary — the income an employee earns for work; it is what a person receives, not a way of saving or investing it, so salary is the odd one out.
Option (3) Insurance — premiums paid regularly to secure a sum against a future loss or risk.
Option (4) Provident Fund — a part of the salary saved every month for retirement, with interest.
