Q. In the following question, out of four words given below, three are alike in some manner and fourth word is different. Find the different one.
a) STETHOSCOPE
b) TELESCOPE
c) MICROSCOPE
d) PERISCOPE
Correct Answer : a) STETHOSCOPE
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: a) STETHOSCOPE
Explanation:
– Telescope, Microscope, and Periscope are optical instruments used for viewing (seeing) objectsβfar away, very small, or around obstacles.
– Stethoscope is used for listening to internal body sounds (like the heartbeat), not for viewing.
Hence, STETHOSCOPE is the odd one out.
