Group I: Penguin, Musk ox, Kangaroo rat
Group II: Rattle snake, Fennec fox, Reindeer
Group III: Toucan, Macaw, Camel

• A. Toucan of group III should be replaced with poison dart frog.
• B. Kangaroo rat of group I should be interchanged with reindeer of group II.
• C. Musk ox of group I should be interchanged with camel of group III.
• D. Penguin of group I should be replaced with parakeet.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Kangaroo rat of group I should be interchanged with reindeer of group II.

• In first statement musk ox should not be replaced with camel as both are desert animals.
• The second statement is correct as kangaroo rat is a desert animal and reindeers are adapted to mountains.
• Parakeets are adapted to rainforests. Therefore, replacing them with penguins will not result in uniformity of group I. Thus, third statement is incorrect.
• Poison dart frog is a rainforest adapted frog. Interchanging them with toucan will not make either group uniform. Thus, fourth statement is also incorrect.
