Answer
- The potter is the odd one out. A potter is a secondary sector worker whereas the others are tertiary sector workers or service providers.
- The vegetable vendor is the odd one, because he is not skilled while the others are skilled workers.
- The cobbler is the odd one, because he works in the unorganized sector.
- Air India (recently acquired by TATA) and Jet Airways (now bankrupt) are the odd ones as they are private sector enterprises.
