OCS Paper 2

Q. Three of the following four words are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out.

(A) Hendecagon
(B) Hexagon
(C) Heptagon
(D) Pentagon

Question from Odisha OCS Paper 2 2024

The correct answer is (A) Hendecagon

Explanation:

The goal is to identify which of the four polygon names does not fit the common pattern shared by the other three.

Let’s analyze each option:

1. Pentagon: A five-sided polygon.
2. Hexagon: A six-sided polygon.
3. Heptagon: A seven-sided polygon.
4. Hendecagon: An eleven-sided polygon.

Pattern Observation:
– Pentagon, Hexagon, and Heptagon follow a sequential pattern with the number of sides increasing by one (5, 6, 7).
– Hendecagon, on the other hand, does not follow this immediate sequential pattern as it has eleven sides, which is a significant jump from the other three.
