Question

Arrange the following oviparous animals to their respective groups:

Crocodile, Beetle, Sardine, Lizard, Housefly, Calotes, Catfish, Rainbow fish, Grasshopper.

• A. $$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Group - 1}& \text{Group - 2}& \text{Group - 3}\\ \text{Sardine}& \text{Rainbow fish}& \text{Calotes}\\ \text{Crocodile}& \text{Lizard}& \text{Catfish}\\ \text{Housefly}& \text{Grasshopper}& \text{Beetle}\end{array}$$
• B. $$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Group - 1}& \text{Group - 2}& \text{Group - 3}\\ \text{Sardine}& \text{Rainbow fish}& \text{Grasshopper}\\ \text{Crocodile}& \text{Lizard}& \text{Housefly}\\ \text{Catfish}& \text{Calotes}& \text{Beetle}\end{array}$$
• C. $$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Group - 1}& \text{Group - 2}& \text{Group - 3}\\ \text{Calotes}& \text{Beetle}& \text{Grasshopper}\\ \text{Crocodile}& \text{Catfish}& \text{Housefly}\\ \text{Lizard}& \text{Sardine}& \text{Rainbow fish}\end{array}$$
• D. $$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Group - 1}& \text{Group - 2}& \text{Group - 3}\\ \text{Grasshopper}& \text{Rainbow fish}& \text{Calotes}\\ \text{Beetle}& \text{Catfish}& \text{Lizard}\\ \text{Housefly}& \text{Sardine}& \text{Crocodile}\end{array}$$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Group - 1}& \text{Group - 2}& \text{Group - 3}\\ \text{Grasshopper}& \text{Rainbow fish}& \text{Calotes}\\ \text{Beetle}& \text{Catfish}& \text{Lizard}\\ \text{Housefly}& \text{Sardine}& \text{Crocodile}\end{array}$$

Among the given animals, grasshopper, beetle, and housefly are insects so they belong to Group – 1. Sardine, catfish and rainbow fish are pisces, so they belong to Group – 2. Finally, lizard, crocodile and calotes are reptiles, so they belong to the Group – 3. So the final arrangement is

$$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Group - 1}& \text{Group - 2}& \text{Group - 3}\\ \text{Grasshopper}& \text{Rainbow fish}& \text{Calotes}\\ \text{Beetle}& \text{Catfish}& \text{Lizard}\\ \text{Housefly}& \text{Sardine}& \text{Crocodile}\end{array}$$
