Three of the following four are alike in a certain way and one is different. Choose the odd one out.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Tur
Group the crops by the season in which they are grown in India.
Option (1) Wheat — sown in winter (October–December) and harvested in summer (April–June): a rabi crop.
Option (2) Barley — a cereal that is also a rabi crop, sown in winter and harvested in summer.
Option (3) Gram — a pulse (chana) that is a rabi crop, sown in winter and harvested in summer.
Option (4) Tur — tur (arhar) is a pulse sown with the onset of the monsoon and harvested in September–October: a kharif crop.
Wheat, barley and gram are rabi crops; tur is a kharif crop, so it is the odd one out.
