Concept notes: Bengaluru, also known as Bangalore, is the capital city of Karnataka. It is often referred to as the "Garden City" due to its numerous parks and green spaces. Telangana, on the other hand, is a separate state in India, distinct from Karnataka. The question asks to identify the odd one out among the given options.
Explanation: The question asks to identify the odd one out in the context of Bengaluru, which is the capital city of Karnataka. Bengaluru is often referred to as the "Garden City" due to its numerous parks and green spaces. This nickname is a well-known description of the city and fits within the context of Karnataka.
Telangana, on the other hand, is a separate state in India, located to the east of Karnataka. It is not a nickname or a description of Bengaluru, nor is it related to the city in any way that would make it fit within the context of the question. Therefore, Telangana is the odd one out.
The other options provided are either nicknames or descriptions of Bengaluru, which are directly related to the city and its characteristics. "Garden city" is a well-known nickname for Bengaluru, making it a fitting description and not an odd one out. The options "Either (A) or (B)" and "Neither (A) nor (B)" are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the fact that only one option can be the odd one out, and that option is Telangana.
In summary, the question tests the understanding of the geographical and cultural context of Bengaluru and Karnataka. It requires the ability to distinguish between a state (Telangana) and a city (Bengaluru) and to recognize the specific context of the question, which is related to Karnataka and its capital city.
